Value-Added Models (VAMs) are both common and controversial in education policy and accountability research. While the sensitivity of VAMs to model specification and covariate selection is well documented, the extent to which test scoring methods (e.g., mean scores vs. IRT-based scores) may affect VA estimates is less studied. We examine the…

This study investigates SBM practices in Vietnamese primary schools, where current education reforms focus on administrative decentralisation and grant…

Feedback guidance is a common approach to influencing strategy choice, primarily aimed at correcting students' false metacognitive beliefs and promoting behavioral change. However, interventions that focus solely on cognitive perspectives may result in a gap between "knowing" and "doing," where students understand the guidance…
