Peer reviewedKenneth A. Frank – Grantee Submission, 2025
Most randomized field experiments experience some attrition. Moreover, the extent of attrition may differ by treatment condition in systematic, non-random ways, biasing estimates of treatment effects and contributing to invalid inferences. We address concerns about non-random attrition by quantifying the conditions necessary in the attritted data…

Fully-Latent Principal Stratification (FLPS) offers a promising approach for estimating treatment effect heterogeneity based on patterns of students' interactions with Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITSs). However, FLPS relies on correctly specified models. In addition, multiple latent variables, such as ability, participation, and epistemic…

One of the essential skills that pharmacy students should develop is the ability to evaluate randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to assess the clinical efficacy and safety of pharmaceuticals. This study aimed to enhance the RCT evaluation skills of fifth-year pharmacy students. It employed the CASP checklist application to assess clinical studies…

Identifying effective methods that can counteract seasonal trends in learning loss is essential to ensure continuous literacy growth of young learners. Computer-assisted instruction (CAI) is a solution for providing an effective summer literacy program that could help offset summer learning loss. In this study, four-year-old students from South…

Recent methods have sought to improve precision in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) by utilizing data from large observational datasets for covariate adjustment. For example, consider an RCT aimed at evaluating a new algebra curriculum, in which a few dozen schools are randomly assigned to treatment (new curriculum) or control (standard…

Randomized A/B tests within online learning platforms enable us to draw unbiased causal estimators. However, precise estimates of treatment effects can be challenging due to minimal participation, resulting in underpowered A/B tests. Recent advancements indicate that leveraging auxiliary information from detailed logs and employing design-based…

The gold-standard for evaluating the effect of an educational intervention on student outcomes is running a randomized controlled trial (RCT). However, RCTs may often be small due to logistical considerations, and resulting treatment effect estimates may lack precision. Recent methods improve experimental precision by incorporating information…

Behavioral and social sciences randomized controlled trials (BSSTs) have a significant role in life sciences. Choosing an appropriate control or comparator group for BSSTs is critical, to provide true intervention effects. The objective of this study was to determine the types of control groups used in BSSTs, and the rationale provided to justify…

Randomized controlled trials in education are necessary to keep pace with the evidence-based practices demanded by schools and the nation. In this study, kindergarten students in a school district in Indiana were randomized on the class level: The experimental condition consisted of students utilizing a computer-adaptive reading program for 15…

This paper presents evidence confirming the validity of the RD design in the Reading Recovery study by examining the ability of the RD design to replicate the 1st grade results observed in the original i3 RCT focused on short-term impacts. Over 1,800 schools participated in the RD study over all four cohort years. The RD design used cutoff-based…

Larry V. Hedges – Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2018
The scientific rigor of education research has improved dramatically since the year 2000. Much of the credit for this improvement is deserved by Institute of Education Sciences (IES) policies that helped create a demand for rigorous research; increased human capital capacity to carry out such work; provided funding for the work itself; and…
