Beth Chance; Karen McGaughey; Sophia Chung; Alex Goodman; Soma Roy; Nathan Tintle – Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education, 2025
"Simulation-based inference" is often considered a pedagogical strategy for helping students develop inferential reasoning, for example, giving them a visual and concrete reference for deciding whether the observed statistic is unlikely to happen by chance alone when the null hypothesis is true. In this article, we highlight for teachers…

Andrew Jaciw – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2024
Background: Rooted in problems of social justice, intersectionality addresses intragroup differences in impacts and outcomes and the compound discrimination at specific intersections of classification (Crenshaw,1991). It stresses that deficits/debts in outcomes often occur non-additively; for example, discriminatory hiring practices can be…

Zuchao Shen; Ben Kelcey – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2023
I. Purpose of the Study: Detecting whether interventions work or not (through main effect analysis) can provide empirical evidence regarding the causal linkage between malleable factors (e.g., interventions) and learner outcomes. In complement, moderation analyses help delineate for whom and under what conditions intervention effects are most…

Tipton, Elizabeth – American Journal of Evaluation, 2022
Practitioners and policymakers often want estimates of the effect of an intervention for their local community, e.g., region, state, county. In the ideal, these multiple population average treatment effect (ATE) estimates will be considered in the design of a single randomized trial. Methods for sample selection for generalizing the sample ATE to…

Sarah E. Robertson; Jon A. Steingrimsson; Issa J. Dahabreh – Evaluation Review, 2024
When planning a cluster randomized trial, evaluators often have access to an enumerated cohort representing the target population of clusters. Practicalities of conducting the trial, such as the need to oversample clusters with certain characteristics in order to improve trial economy or support inferences about subgroups of clusters, may preclude…

Shen, Zuchao; Kelcey, Benjamin – Journal of Experimental Education, 2022
Optimal design of multisite randomized trials leverages sampling costs to optimize sampling ratios and ultimately identify more efficient and powerful designs. Past implementations of the optimal design framework have assumed that costs of sampling units are equal across treatment conditions. In this study, we developed a more flexible optimal…

Yanli Xie – ProQuest LLC, 2022
The purpose of this dissertation is to develop principles and strategies for and identify limitations of multisite cluster randomized trials in the context of partially and fully nested designs. In the first study, I develop principles of estimation, sampling variability, and inference for studies that leverage multisite designs within the context…

Shen, Zuchao; Kelcey, Benjamin – Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2022
Optimal sampling frameworks attempt to identify the most efficient sampling plans to achieve an adequate statistical power. Although such calculations are theoretical in nature, they are critical to the judicious and wise use of funding because they serve as important starting points that guide practical discussions around sampling tradeoffs and…

Avery H. Closser; Adam Sales; Anthony F. Botelho – Grantee Submission, 2024
Emergent technologies present platforms for educational researchers to conduct randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and collect rich data on study students' performance, behavior, learning processes, and outcomes in authentic learning environments. As educational research increasingly uses methods and data collection from such platforms, it is…

Bulus, Metin; Dong, Nianbo – Journal of Experimental Education, 2021
Sample size determination in multilevel randomized trials (MRTs) and multilevel regression discontinuity designs (MRDDs) can be complicated due to multilevel structure, monetary restrictions, differing marginal costs per treatment and control units, and range restrictions in sample size at one or more levels. These issues have sparked a set of…

Tipton, Elizabeth; Spybrook, Jessaca; Fitzgerald, Kaitlyn G.; Wang, Qian; Davidson, Caryn – Educational Researcher, 2021
As a result of the evidence-based decision-making movement, the number of randomized trials evaluating educational programs and curricula has increased dramatically over the past 20 years. Policy makers and practitioners are encouraged to use the results of these trials to inform their decision making in schools and school districts. At the same…
