Garrett, Stacie – ProQuest LLC, 2017
Differentiated instruction (DI) is a curriculum framework that focuses on the individual student. Students achieve because teachers develop lessons to the students' readiness levels, interests, and learning styles. Students in early childhood through college have shown increased achievement when DI is implemented. The purpose of this quantitative,…

Robert H. Kosar – ProQuest LLC, 2017
Principal component analysis is an important statistical technique for dimension reduction and exploratory data analysis. However, it is not robust to outliers and may obfuscate important data structure such as clustering. We propose a version of principal component analysis based on the robust L2E method. The technique seeks to find the principal…

Montagni, Ilaria; Cariou, Tanguy; Tzourio, Christophe; González-Caballero, Juan-Luis – International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 2019
Online surveys are increasingly used to investigate health conditions, especially among young people. However, this methodology presents some limitations including item nonresponse concerning sensitive and knowledge-related questions. This study aimed to suggest latent class analysis as the methodology to statistically deal with item nonresponse…

Uwimpuhwe, Germaine; Singh, Akansha; Higgins, Steve; Coux, Mickael; Xiao, ZhiMin; Shkedy, Ziv; Kasim, Adetayo – Journal of Experimental Education, 2022
Educational stakeholders are keen to know the magnitude and importance of different interventions. However, the way evidence is communicated to support understanding of the effectiveness of an intervention is controversial. Typically studies in education have used the standardised mean difference as a measure of the impact of interventions. This…

Grund, Simon; Lüdtke, Oliver; Robitzsch, Alexander – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2018
Multiple imputation (MI) can be used to address missing data at Level 2 in multilevel research. In this article, we compare joint modeling (JM) and the fully conditional specification (FCS) of MI as well as different strategies for including auxiliary variables at Level 1 using either their manifest or their latent cluster means. We show with…

Horta, Hugo – Asia Pacific Education Review, 2018
This study explores the association between PhD students' self-perception of skills and their career plans, which are analytically transformed into three non-academic sectors in relation to the academic sector (which serves as the baseline). Drawing on a representative sample of PhD students at a globally oriented research university in Asia (the…

Wong, Joanne; Bautista, Alfredo – Professional Development in Education, 2018
While research in teacher professional development (PD) has focused on numerous topics, not much is known about how teachers understand the notion of PD. Studying this topic is important because, for PD to be effective, all parties involved in its design and implementation need to have a common understanding of the scope and purposes of PD. We…

Perrotta, Carlo; Williamson, Ben – Learning, Media and Technology, 2018
This paper argues that methods used for the classification and measurement of online education are not neutral and objective, but involved in the creation of the educational realities they claim to measure. In particular, the paper draws on material semiotics to examine cluster analysis as a 'performative device' that, to a significant extent,…

Bose, Arpita; Wood, Rosalind; Kiran, Swathi – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2017
Background: Verbal fluency tasks are included in a broad range of aphasia assessments. It is well documented that people with aphasia (PWA) produce fewer items in these tasks. Successful performance on verbal fluency relies on the integrity of both linguistic and executive control abilities. It remains unclear if limited output in aphasia is…
