Shen, Zuchao; Curran, F. Chris; You, You; Splett, Joni Williams; Zhang, Huibin – Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, 2023
Programs that improve teaching effectiveness represent a core strategy to improve student educational outcomes and close student achievement gaps. This article compiles empirical values of intraclass correlations for designing effective and efficient experimental studies evaluating the effects of these programs. The Early Childhood Longitudinal…

Baker, Rachel – Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, 2016
Most of the students who set out to earn degrees in community colleges never do. Interventions that simplify the complex organizational structures of these schools are promising solutions to this problem. This article is the first to provide rigorous evidence of the effects of structured transfer programs, one such intervention. Leveraging the…

Springer, Matthew G.; Swain, Walker A.; Rodriguez, Luis A. – Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, 2016
We report findings from a quasi-experimental evaluation of the recently implemented US$5,000 retention bonus program for effective teachers in Tennessee's Priority Schools. We estimate the impact of the program on teacher retention using a fuzzy regression discontinuity design by exploiting a discontinuity in the probability of treatment…

Cunha, Jesse M.; Miller, Trey; Weisburst, Emily – Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, 2018
We study GO Centers, a college information program that is run by student peers and provides information about all aspects of the college-going process to academically prepared students on the margin of attending college. We use the semi-random rollout of the program along with detailed panel data on the universe of Texas public school students to…

Shager, Hilary M.; Schindler, Holly S.; Magnuson, Katherine A.; Duncan, Greg J.; Yoshikawa, Hirokazu; Hart, Cassandra M. D. – Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, 2013
This study explores the extent to which differences in research design explain variation in Head Start program impacts. We employ meta-analytic techniques to predict effect sizes for cognitive and achievement outcomes as a function of the type and rigor of research design, quality and type of outcome measure, activity level of control group, and…

Moss, Brian G.; Yeaton, William H.; Lloyd, Jane E. – Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, 2014
Using a novel design approach, a randomized experiment (RE) was embedded within a regression discontinuity (RD) design (R-RE-D) to evaluate the impact of developmental mathematics at a large midwestern college ("n" = 2,122). Within a region of uncertainty near the cut-score, estimates of benefit from a prospective RE were closely…

Meyers, Coby V.; Molefe, Ayrin; Brandt, W. Christopher; Zhu, Bo; Dhillon, Sonica – Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, 2016
This article presents the findings of an evaluation of the eMINTS (enhancing Missouri's Instructional Networked Teaching Strategies) professional development program. eMINTS is an intensive teacher professional development program designed to promote inquiry-based learning, support high-quality lesson design, build community among students and…

Song, Mengli; Herman, Rebecca – Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, 2010
Drawing on our five years of experience developing WWC evidence standards and reviewing studies against those standards as well as current literature on the design of impact studies, we highlight in this paper some of the most critical issues and common pitfalls in designing and conducting impact studies in education, and provide practical…

Spybrook, Jessaca; Raudenbush, Stephen W. – Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, 2009
This article examines the power analyses for the first wave of group-randomized trials funded by the Institute of Education Sciences. Specifically, it assesses the precision and technical accuracy of the studies. The authors identified the appropriate experimental design and estimated the minimum detectable standardized effect size (MDES) for each…

Magidson, Jay; Sorbom, Dag – Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, 1982
LISREL V computer program is applied to a weak quasi-experimental design involving the Head Start program, as a multiple analysis attempt to assure that differences between nonequivalent control groups do not confound interpretation of a posteriori differences. (PN)

St. Pierre, Robert G. – Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, 1979
A model is described which illustrates two general uses of multiple analyses to evaluate quasi-experiments: obtaining estimates of the treatment effect, and checking the validity of the experiment. (MH)

Lindvall, C. Mauritz; Nitko, Anthony J. – Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, 1981
A design for evaluation studies of educational programs should provide valid and defensible inferences. Goals of evaluation are the identity of major components of inferences and specific validity concerns. Design problems may be resolved by creatively utilizing features of specific evaluations in designing unique conditions that permit valid…

Eash, Maurice J. – Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, 1985
Evaluation research is no longer taught solely as a technical-scientific pursuit, but is now moving toward a policy-oriented discipline. Psychological skills in a political context can strengthen technical contributions of evaluators. (LMO)

Fetterman, David M. – Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, 1982
The design and conduct of a national evaluation study is discussed, demonstrating that a control group may not provide the no-cause baseline information expected. Resolution of this problem requires reexamination of paradigms, research practices, and policies, as well as the underlying real world constraints and views that generate them. (PN)

James-Burdumy, Susanne; Dynarski, Mark; Deke, John – Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, 2007
This article presents evidence from a national evaluation of the effects of 21st Century Community Learning Center after-school programs. The study was conducted in 12 school districts and 26 after-school centers, at which 2,308 elementary school students who were interested in attending a center were randomly assigned either to the treatment or…
