Jorgensen, Estelle R.; Ward-Steinman, Patrice Madura – Journal of Research in Music Education, 2015
The purpose of this study was to examine evidence of a hypothesized shift in the operative research paradigms in music education during the first quarter century of the publication of the "Journal of Research in Music Education," during the period 1953 to 1978. This shift was from humanities-oriented historical and philosophical studies…

Shamuganathana, Sheila; Karpudewan, Mageswary – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2017
Existing studies report on the importance of instilling environmental literacy among students from an early stage of schooling to enable them to adopt more pro-environmental behaviors in the near future. This quasi-experimental study was designed to compare the level of environmental literacy among two groups of students: the experimental group (N…

Dexter, Douglas D. – International Journal for Research in Learning Disabilities, 2012
A pretest-posttest comparison group design was used to investigate the effects of a semantic mapping lesson plus visual display versus a semantic mapping lesson alone on adolescents' with learning disabilities (LD) ability to gain and maintain factual knowledge from expository social studies material. In addition, a posttest only comparison group…

Computing & Interpreting Effect Sizes in Educational Research
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Thompson, Bruce – Middle Grades Research Journal, 2009
The present article provides a primer on using effect sizes in research. A small heuristic data set is used in order to make the discussion concrete. Additionally, various admonitions for best practice in reporting and interpreting effect sizes are presented. Among these is the admonition to not use Cohen's benchmarks for "small," "medium," and…

Cross-Validation Analysis for the Canonical Case.
PDF on ERIC Download full text
Crossman, Leslie L. – 1994
The present paper suggests that multivariate techniques are very important in social science research, and that canonical correlation analysis may be particularly useful. The logic of canonical analysis is explained and discussed. The necessity of using replicability/generalizability analyses is argued. It is suggested that cross-validation…

Invariance Testing in Discriminant Analysis: A Heuristic Application of the Jackknife Procedure and Procrustean Rotation.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Taylor, Dianne L.; Tucker, Mary L. – Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development, 1995
Describes two invariance tests, the jackknife procedure and Procrustean rotation, and applies them in a discriminant analysis for this heuristic study. Invariance testing helps to prevent overemphasis on findings of statistical significance and overgeneralization of a research result, and thus is gaining favor as an indicator of result importance.…
