Education Experiments in Latin America: Empirical Evidence to Guide Evaluation Design
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Steven Glazerman; Larissa Campuzano; Nancy Murray – Evaluation Review, 2025
Randomized experiments involving education interventions are typically implemented as cluster randomized trials, with schools serving as clusters. To design such a study, it is critical to understand the degree to which learning outcomes vary between versus within clusters (schools), specifically the intraclass correlation coefficient. It is also…

Rachel Abenavoli; Natalia Rojas; Rebecca Unterman; Elise Cappella; Josh Wallack; Pamela Morris – Grantee Submission, 2021
In this article, Rachel Abenavoli, Natalia Rojas, Rebecca Unterman, Elise Cappella, Josh Wallack, and Pamela Morris argue that research-practice partnerships make it possible to rigorously study relevant policy questions in ways that would otherwise be infeasible. Randomized controlled trials of small-scale programs have shown us that early…

Tipton, Elizabeth; Olsen, Robert B. – Educational Researcher, 2018
School-based evaluations of interventions are increasingly common in education research. Ideally, the results of these evaluations are used to make evidence-based policy decisions for students. However, it is difficult to make generalizations from these evaluations because the types of schools included in the studies are typically not selected…

Interpreting Evidence-of-Learning: Educational Research in the Era of Big Data
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Cope, Bill; Kalantzis, Mary – Open Review of Educational Research, 2015
In this article, we argue that big data can offer new opportunities and roles for educational researchers. In the traditional model of evidence-gathering and interpretation in education, researchers are independent observers, who pre-emptively create instruments of measurement, and insert these into the educational process in specialized times and…

Methods That Matter: Integrating Mixed Methods for More Effective Social Science Research
Direct linkDirect link
Hay, M. Cameron, Ed. – University of Chicago Press, 2016
To do research that really makes a difference--the authors of this book argue--social scientists need questions and methods that reflect the complexity of the world. Bringing together a consortium of voices across a variety of fields, "Methods that Matter" offers compelling and successful examples of mixed methods research that do just…
