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…
