Chen, Ruey-Shin; Liu, I-Fan – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2017
Currently, e-learning systems are being widely used in all stages of education. However, it is difficult for school administrators to accurately assess the actual usage performance of a new system, especially when an organization wishes to update the system for users from different backgrounds using new devices such as smartphones. To allow school…

Vandivere, Sharon; Malm, Karin – Child Trends, 2015
One factor that may facilitate a successful reunification of children in foster care with their parents--or failing that, provide an alternate route to permanency through adoption or guardianship--is children's connections with extended family. However, because foster care frequently disrupts social connections, practitioners may need to take…

Thomas, Ally S.; Bonner, Sarah M.; Everson, Howard T. – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2014
Recently, the authors have been exploring the use of propensity score methods for developing evidence of program impact. Specifically, they have been developing evidence (after one year of implementation) of the effects of the Math Science Partnership in New York City ("MSPinNYC2") on high school students' achievement--both in terms of…

Mueller, Christoph Emanuel; Gaus, Hansjoerg; Rech, Joerg – American Journal of Evaluation, 2014
This article proposes an innovative approach to estimating the counterfactual without the necessity of generating information from either a control group or a before-measure. Building on the idea that program participants are capable of estimating the hypothetical state they would be in had they not participated, the basics of the Roy-Rubin model…

Sirinides, Philip; Supovitz, Jonathan; Tognatta, Namrata; May, Henry – Consortium for Policy Research in Education, 2013
Beginning in 2005, the GE Foundation initiated a commitment of expertise and financial resources to a set of urban school districts to improve public education and enhance student achievement in mathematics and science. This report analyzes the impacts of the GE Foundation commitment to the partner districts by examining trends in student…

Onyia, Okey Peter; Allen, Stephanie – Research in Higher Education Journal, 2012
This paper contains results of an empirical study that tested the efficacy and acceptability of two templates designed to fully involve students in proper and fair peer-assessments of their group project work (GPW) by providing concrete evidence of independent progressive documentation of their peers' contributions to the work-process and…

Johnson, Matt; Sprowles, Amy; Overeem, Katlin; Rich, Angela – Learning Communities: Research & Practice, 2013
A place-based learning community called "Klamath Connection" was designed to improve the academic performance of freshman in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) majors at Humboldt State University, a midsize public institution in a location geographically and culturally unfamiliar to the majority of its students. The…

Diamantidis, Anastasios D.; Chatzoglou, Prodromos D. – European Journal of Training and Development, 2012
Purpose: The purpose of the paper is to highlight the training factors that mostly affect trainees' perception of learning and training usefulness. Design/methodology/approach: A new research model is proposed exploring the relationships between a trainer's performance, training programme components, outcomes of the learning process and training…

Portales, Jaime; Heilig, Julian Vasquez – Education Policy Analysis Archives, 2014
Findings from this study show that educational and mobility opportunities for families and students participating in the Chilean voucher system are not homogenously distributed. Some families and students use and benefit from the system, while others will remain marginalized. The quantitative results in this study demonstrate that students of…

Kessler, Stacey R.; Nixon, Ashley; Nelson, Carnot – American Journal of Evaluation, 2008
The current study examines the inherent challenges of the wide-scale implementation and replication of program models. Using the Healthy Family America (HFA) program model, the study reviews the adaptation/adoption debate and highlights the ways in which program adoption and program adaptation could coexist to facilitate successful program…

Guba, Egon G. – Evaluation Practice, 1987
Definitions of and approaches to naturalistic evaluation are discussed. The qualitative aspects of the discipline are reviewed; and use of naturalistic evaluation in descriptions, illustrations, explications, hypothesis testing, and assessment of public spending are defined. A new paradigm for naturalistic evaluation is proposed. (TJH)

Rogers, W. Todd – 1972
The jackknife is a general inferential technique intended to ameliorate the problems associated with inadequate sampling theory. The research reported herein is directed at investigating the utility of the jackknife for establishing confidence intervals on and testing hypotheses about the disattenuated correlation coefficient for small samples. A…

Sharp, D. E. Ann; And Others – 1985
Hypothesis generation and testing is outlined as an additional domain for program evaluators. Program evaluation involves a thorough analysis of the processes that contribute to change (or a lack of change) among program recipients. This process of change is analyzed in two ways: (1) treating programs as naturally occurring field studies; and (2)…
