Learning from Failure: A Context-Informed Perspective on RCTs
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Mike Coldwell; Nick Moore – British Educational Research Journal, 2024
Discussions of randomised controlled trials (RCTs) in education that do not show an impact regularly focus on the intervention and how it failed to impact on expected measures, with typologies identifying persistent critical points of failure. This paper uses one such RCT--the Integrating English programme--to exemplify the application of a new…

What Exactly Do RCT Findings Tell Us in Education Research?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Koutsouris, George; Norwich, Brahm – British Educational Research Journal, 2018
This article addresses issues related to whether null randomised control trial (RCT) findings can by themselves be a secure indicator of programme failure. This is done by drawing on the findings of the evaluation of the Integrated Group Reading (IGR) programme using a number of teacher case studies. The case studies illustrate how the same…

Measuring Conceptual Understanding in Randomised Controlled Trials: Can Comparative Judgement Help?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Jones, Ian; Bisson, Marie; Gilmore, Camilla; Inglis, Matthew – British Educational Research Journal, 2019
An impediment to conducting high-quality quantitative research studies in education is the paucity of valid measures of learning gains. Studies often seek to investigate students' deep, conceptual understanding yet many measures assess only surface, procedural understanding. One reason is that the development of validated measures of conceptual…

Information and Choice of A-Level Subjects: A Cluster Randomised Controlled Trial with Linked Administrative Data
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Davies, Peter; Davies, Neil M.; Qiu, Tian – British Educational Research Journal, 2017
We estimated the effects of an intervention which provided information about graduate wages to 5593 students in England, using a blinded cluster randomised controlled trial in 50 schools (registration: AEARCTR-0000468). Our primary outcome was students' choice of A-level subjects at age 16. We also recorded the students' expectations of future…

Promoting Gypsy Children's Behavioural Engagement and School Success: Evidence from a Four-Wave Longitudinal Study
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Rosário, Pedro; Núñez, José Carlos; Vallejo, Guillermo; Azevedo, Raquel; Pereira, Raquel; Moreira, Tânia; Fuentes, Sonia; Valle, Antonio – British Educational Research Journal, 2017
Low schooling, high non-attendance and school dropout rates are critical phenomena within disadvantaged groups, especially among the Gypsy community. For example, in the UK, 10%-25% of Gypsy children do not attend school regularly and have significantly higher levels of overall absence from school (percentage of half-day sessions missed) than…

Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Evans, Rhiannon; Brown, Rachel; Rees, Gwyther; Smith, Philip – British Educational Research Journal, 2017
Looked-after children and young people (LACYP) are educationally disadvantaged compared to the general population. A systematic review was conducted of randomised controlled trials evaluating interventions aimed at LACYP aged =18 years. Restrictions were not placed on delivery setting or delivery agent. Intervention outcomes were: academic skills;…
