Models of Innovation Scaling in Singapore Schools: Process Objects as Multi-Level Role Clusters and Outcomes--A Multiple Case Study Approach
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Tan, Mei Ying; Hung, David Wei Loong – Asia Pacific Education Review, 2020
Studying the processes involved in scaling technologically-mediated pedagogical innovations has moved into understanding how wider contexts relate to qualitative outcomes (depth, shift in reform ownership and spread). Understanding patterns in this relationship has been complicated by the diverse outcomes for a single innovation. This study…

Proposing an Educational Scaling-and-Diffusion Model for Inquiry-Based Learning Designs
Direct linkDirect link
Hung, David; Lee, Shu-Shing – Educational Technology, 2015
Education cannot adopt the linear model of scaling used by the medical sciences. "Gold standards" cannot be replicated without considering process-in-learning, diversity, and student-variedness in classrooms. This article proposes a nuanced model of educational scaling-and-diffusion, describing the scaling (top-down supports) and…

Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Hung, David; Toh, Yancy; Jamaludin, Azilawati; So, Hyo-Jeong – Asia Pacific Journal of Education, 2017
This paper argues for innovation diffusion as a "becoming" process in the context of lateral and vertical moves. The context of these innovations involves technology-mediated innovations and their diffusion trajectories in the Singapore education system. Embedded in a centralized-decentralized dialectics, this paper traces particular…

A Comparison between the Rating Scale Model and Dual Scaling for Likert Scales.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Cheung, K. C.; Mooi, L. C. – Applied Psychological Measurement, 1994
Problems relating to existence of interval scales, dimensionality of a trait, and patterns of item response functions are approached through contrasting scaling methods: item response theory modeling and dual scaling. Similarity of the methods is established through a study of 326 female junior college students in Singapore completing a Likert…
