Ayala-Nunes, Lara; Jiménez, Lucía; Hidalgo, Victoria; Dekovic, Maja; Jesus, Saul – Research on Social Work Practice, 2018
Objective: The measurement of Family Feedback on Child Welfare Services (FF-CWS) is gaining prominence as an efficacy indicator and is coherent with concerns about family-centered practice and empowerment. The aim of this study was to develop and validate an instrument that would overcome the scarcity of psychometrically sound measures in this…

Raudenbush, Stephen W.; Sadoff, Sally – Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2008
A dramatic shift in research priorities has recently produced a large number of ambitious randomized trials in K-12 education. In most cases, the aim is to improve student academic learning by improving classroom instruction. Embedded in these studies are theories about how the quality of classroom must improve if these interventions are to…

The Generalizability of Class Means
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Kane, Michael T.; Brennan, Robert L. – Review of Educational Research, 1977
Dependability of class means is analyzed by applying generalizability to a split-plot design with students nested within classes. Basic generalizability concepts are reviewed, and the derivation and interpretation of distinct generalizability concepts are discussed. Four generalizability coefficients are compared with each other and with the three…

An Evaluation of Title I Model C1: The Special Regression Model.
Mandeville, Garrett K. – 1978
The RMC Research Corporation evaluation model C1--the special regression model (SRM)--was evaluated through a series of computer simulations and compared with an alternative model, the norm referenced model (NRM). Using local data and national norm data to determine reasonable values for sample size and pretest posttest correlation parameters, the…

Generalizability Theory in Program Evaluation.
Rothman, M. L.; And Others – 1982
A practical application of generalizability theory, demonstrating how the variance components contribute to understanding and interpreting the data collected to evaluate a program, is described. The evaluation concerned 120 learning modules developed for the Dental Auxiliary Education Project. The goals of the project were to design, implement,…

A New Peer Instruction Method for Teaching Practical Skills in the Health Sciences: An Evaluation of the "Learning Trail"
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Dollman, James – Advances in Health Sciences Education, 2005
The "Learning Trail" is an innovative application of peer-mediated instruction designed to enhance student learning in large practical classes. The strategy specifically seeks to improve participants' attention to details of protocol that are often difficult to observe during teacher-centered demonstrations to large groups. Students…
