Yi, Zhihui; Schreiber, James B.; Paliliunas, Dana; Barron, Becky F.; Dixon, Mark R. – Journal of Behavioral Education, 2021
The recent commentary by Beaujean and Farmer (2020) on the original paper by Dixon et al. (2019) serves a cautionary tale of selective p-values, the law of small N sizes, and the type-II error. We believe these authors have crafted a somewhat questionable argument in which only 57% of the original Dixon et al. data were re-analyzed, based on a…

Smith, Elizabeth E. – International Journal of Research & Method in Education, 2022
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the use of the exemplar methodology (ExM) as a method for selecting exemplars in education research. ExM is a systematic approach to selecting outliers that can be used to education researchers who investigate outliers to better understand phenomena among students, teachers, schools, and communities.

Egamaria Alacam; Craig K. Enders; Han Du; Brian T. Keller – Grantee Submission, 2023
Composite scores are an exceptionally important psychometric tool for behavioral science research applications. A prototypical example occurs with self-report data, where researchers routinely use questionnaires with multiple items that tap into different features of a target construct. Item-level missing data are endemic to composite score…

Nassauer, Anne; Legewie, Nicolas M. – Sociological Methods & Research, 2021
Since the early 2000s, the proliferation of cameras, whether in mobile phones or CCTV, led to a sharp increase in visual recordings of human behavior. This vast pool of data enables new approaches to analyzing situational dynamics. Application is both qualitative and quantitative and ranges widely in fields such as sociology, psychology,…

Rioux, Charlie; Little, Todd D. – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2021
Missing data are ubiquitous in studies examining preventive interventions. This missing data need to be handled appropriately for data analyses to yield unbiased results.

Iwatani, Emi – Practical Assessment, Research & Evaluation, 2018
Education researchers are increasingly interested in applying data mining approaches, but to date, there has been no overarching exposition of their methodological advantages and disadvantages to the field. This is partly because the use of data mining in education research is relatively new, so its value and consequences are not yet well…

Anders Kristian Munk; Anders Koed Madsen; Mathieu Jacomy – New Perspectives on Learning and Instruction, 2019
Data sprints have emerged as a popular way to involve stakeholders in datawork. In this chapter we discuss what it takes to turn a sprint into a productive situation of inquiry (in the sense of Dewey, 1938). We argue that sprint organizers must work actively to counteract an otherwise docile setting where the preference for agreement between…

Each year, policymakers, educators, and the general public engage in debates around the statewide average teacher pay figure that the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction (DPI) publishes on its website and reports to the National Education Association. These debates take up the important consideration of whether or not teachers are…

Hayes, Timothy – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2019
Multiple imputation is a popular method for addressing data that are presumed to be missing at random. To obtain accurate results, one's imputation model must be congenial to (appropriate for) one's intended analysis model. This article reviews and demonstrates two recent software packages, Blimp and jomo, to multiply impute data in a manner…

Dalland, Cecilie P.; Klette, Kirsti; Svenkerud, Sigrun – International Journal of Research & Method in Education, 2020
The use of video recordings as a data source in qualitative research presents challenges when it comes to selecting time scales. Here, we discuss the implications of selecting time scales with regard to the interpretations and conclusions of a classroom event. The analysis draws on data from the PISA+ project, a large-scale video study of six…

Heslop, Jo; Tamez, Lucia Quintero; Parkes, Jenny – Institute of Education - London, 2021
While violence against children (VAC) has been a long-established global concern, more recently attention has been drawn to how violence occurs in and around schools (VACS) and the role of education in preventing and responding to violence.

Since emergence of the field "Educational Neuroscience" (EN) in the late nineties of the previous century, a debate has emerged about the potential this field holds to influence teaching and learning in the classroom. By now, most agree that the original claims promising direct translations to teaching and learning were too strong. I…
