Peer reviewedDelaney, Harold D.; Maxwell, Scott E. – Journal of Educational Statistics, 1980
The use of analysis of covariance is examined for attribute-by-treatment interaction research, where participants are randomly assigned to treatments but not to levels of the attribute factor. The authors argue for an increased usage of analysis of covariance. (Author/JKS)

Bogaardo, Paul – Francais dans le Monde, 1980
Reviews the history of language aptitude tests in the U.S., examines the notion of aptitude in general, and attempts to answer the question of whether the notion of "language aptitude" is a valid one. (AM)

An objective procedure was developed and tested to determine the relative difficulty of Air Force jobs. Also investigated were (1) the measurement of task difficulty to allow comparability across specialties, (2) the quantitative appraisal of job demands based on component tasks being performed, and (3) the comparability of job difficulty to job…

What really works in alternate assessment based on alternate achievement standards? Every state is working to know the answer--both to comply with federal requirements for evaluating students with severe cognitive disabilities, and to ensure that all students reach their full potential. This comprehensive book is the first to gather today's best…

Mao, Xin; Recker, Mimi – Educational Media and Technology Yearbook, 2009
The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of a professional development (PD) workshop on teachers' knowledge and use as related to the integration of online resources. In addition, this study attempted to examine whether teachers' aptitude was a moderating factor in the impact of the PD workshop. Moreover, it explored how teachers…

Esmonde, Indigo – Review of Educational Research, 2009
This review considers research related to mathematics education and cooperative learning, and it discusses how teachers might assist students in cooperative groups to provide equitable opportunities to learn. In this context, equity is defined as the fair distribution of opportunities to learn, and the argument is that identity-related processes…

Skarakis-Doyle, Elizabeth; Campbell, Wenonah; Dempsey, Lynn – American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology, 2009
Purpose: This study tested the accuracy with which the MacArthur-Bates Communicative Development Inventories, Level III (CDI-III), a parent report measure of language ability, discriminated children with language impairment from those developing language typically. Method: Parents of 58 children, 49 with typically developing language (age 30 to 42…

Turpen, Chandra; Finkelstein, Noah D. – Physical Review Special Topics - Physics Education Research, 2009
While educational reforms in introductory physics are becoming more widespread, how these reforms are implemented is less well understood. This paper examines the variation in faculty practices surrounding the implementation of educational reform in introductory physics courses. Through observations of classroom practice, we find that professors'…

In this paper, we propose that learning in engineering involves taking on the discourse of an engineering community, which is intimately bound up with the identity of being a member of that community. This leads to the notion of discursive identity, which emphasises that students' identities are constituted through engaging in discourse. This view…

Mwanza-Simwami, Daisy; Engestrom, Yrjo; Amon, Tomaz – International Journal on E-Learning, 2009
The task of evaluating learner activities with new technologies is becoming increasingly complex because traditional evaluation strategies do not adequately consider the unique and often dynamic characteristics of learners and activities carried out. Learner activities are largely driven by motives and relationships that exist in the context in…

Martinez, Rebecca S.; Missall, Kristen N.; Graney, Suzanne Bamonto; Aricak, O. Tolga; Clarke, Ben – Assessment for Effective Intervention, 2009
The current study examines the technical adequacy of four Early Numeracy Curriculum-Based Measurement (EN-CBM) screening tasks: "Oral Counting" (OC), "Number Identification" (NI), "Quantity Discrimination" (QD), and "Missing Number" (MN). Results from 59 kindergarten students assessed in the fall and spring reveal moderate to high test-retest and…

Mayes, Susan Dickerson; Calhoun, Susan L.; Bixler, Edward O.; Zimmerman, Dennis N. – Learning and Individual Differences, 2009
Word reading and math computation scores were predicted from Wechsler Abbreviated Scale of Intelligence Full Scale IQ, 10 neuropsychological tests, and parent attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) ratings in 214 general population elementary school children. IQ was the best single predictor of achievement. In addition, Digit Span…

Hopkins, Sarah; Egeberg, Helen – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2009
There exists a substantial number of studies that have identified a subset of low-achieving mathematics students who do not develop a reliance on retrieval for simple addition but who continue to use a counting strategy to solve these problems. There are few studies, however, that have focused on how retrieval of simple addition facts may be…

Heckman, James J.; Humphries, John Eric; Mader, Nicholas S. – National Bureau of Economic Research, 2010
The General Educational Development (GED) credential is issued on the basis of an eight hour subject-based test. The test claims to establish equivalence between dropouts and traditional high school graduates, opening the door to college and positions in the labor market. In 2008 alone, almost 500,000 dropouts passed the test, amounting to 12% of…

Chinen, Marjorie Harue – ProQuest LLC, 2010
This dissertation studies the short-term effects of attending an after-school program (i.e., LA's BEST) on student mathematic achievement. The effects of one, two and three years of participation are studied, as well as the extent to which the magnitude of these effects varies across grades in which participation occurs, and the extent to which…
