Gaspard, Hanna; Parrisius, Cora; Piesch, Heide; Kleinhansl, Markus; Wille, Eike; Nagengast, Benjamin; Trautwein, Ulrich; Hulleman, Chris S. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2021
Relevance interventions have shown a great potential to foster motivation and achievement (Lazowski & Hulleman, 2016). Yet, further research is warranted to test how such interventions can be successfully implemented in practice. We conducted a cluster-randomized trial in ninth-grade math classrooms to test the effectiveness of a relevance…

Burke, Kylie; Dittman, Cassandra K.; Forbes, Elana J.; Eggins, Elizabeth – Campbell Systematic Reviews, 2021
The primary objective of the proposed systematic review is to answer the following research question: do parenting programmes for parents of adolescents impact adolescent mental health outcomes, positive development and the parent-adolescent relationship? This will be achieved by systematically searching for and synthesising the extant evaluation…

Cameron, Ewan – Journal of Education Policy, 2020
In the 2016-2017 school year, the Liberian government launched Partnership Schools For Liberia (PSL), a pilot program in which the management of 93 primary schools was transferred to 8 private contractors. The pilot owed much to the importation of western policy models and was facilitated by the British organisation ARK and involved BIA, a private…

Wilcox, Holly C.; Petras, Hanno; Brown, Hendricks C.; Kellam, Sheppard G. – Prevention Science, 2022
Three generations of developmental epidemiologically based randomized field trials of the Good Behavior Game (GBG) have been delivered to Baltimore elementary schools. With the collaboration of family and community partners, all three trials were directed at decreasing proximal targets of aggressive behavior and improving learning in first-grade…

Heather C. Hill; Anna Erickson – Educational Researcher, 2019
Poor program implementation constitutes one explanation for null results in trials of educational interventions. For this reason, researchers often collect data about implementation fidelity when conducting such trials. In this article, we document whether and how researchers report and measure program fidelity in recent cluster-randomized trials.…

Schochet, Peter Z. – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2018
Design-based methods have recently been developed as a way to analyze randomized controlled trial (RCT) data for designs with a single treatment and control group. This article builds on this framework to develop design-based estimators for evaluations with multiple research groups. Results are provided for a wide range of designs used in…

Schochet, Peter – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2018
Design-based methods have recently been developed as a way to analyze data from impact evaluations of interventions, programs, and policies (Freedman, 2008; Lin, 2013; Imbens and Rubin, 2015; Schochet, 2013, 2016; Yang and Tsiatis, 2001). The non-parametric estimators are derived using the building blocks of experimental designs with minimal…

Fuchs, Lynn S.; Seethaler, Pamela M.; Fuchs, Douglas; Espinas, Daniel – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2023
Analyses were conducted with second graders, drawn from an ongoing multi-cohort randomized controlled trial (RCT), who had been identified for RCT entry based on comorbid reading comprehension and word-problem solving difficulty. To estimate pandemic learning loss, we contrasted fall performance for 3 cohorts: fall of 2019 (pre-pandemic; n = 47),…

Caroline Botvin; Tyler Watts; Jade Jenkins; Robert Carr; Kenneth Dodge; Douglas Clements; Julie Sarama – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2022
Background/Context: Early childhood education research has consistently found evidence of immediate, positive effects on developmental outcomes. Despite these strong initial benefits, follow-up analyses often reveal that these effects fadeout in the years following participation (e.g., Bailey et al., 2017, Clements et al., 2013; Lipsey et al.…

Hale, Rebecca – Oxford Review of Education, 2020
It is generally agreed that learning about the Holocaust has some impact on students. However, discussions about the nature and magnitude of impact tend to be intuition-based rather than evidence-based. This is exacerbated by studies giving insight into how Holocaust education is related to salient variables rather than studies which demonstrate…

Wong, Vivian C.; Steiner, Peter M.; Anglin, Kylie L. – Grantee Submission, 2018
Given the widespread use of non-experimental (NE) methods for assessing program impacts, there is a strong need to know whether NE approaches yield causally valid results in field settings. In within-study comparison (WSC) designs, the researcher compares treatment effects from an NE with those obtained from a randomized experiment that shares the…

Hallberg, Kelly; Williams, Ryan; Swanlund, Andrew – Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2020
More aggregate data on school performance is available than ever before, opening up new possibilities for applied researchers interested in assessing the effectiveness of school-level interventions quickly and at a relatively low cost by implementing comparative interrupted times series (CITS) designs. We examine the extent to which effect…

May, Henry; Jones, Akisha; Blakeney, Aly – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2019
Using an RD design provides statistically robust estimates while allowing researchers a different causal estimation tool to be used in educational environments where an RCT may not be feasible. Results from External Evaluation of the i3 Scale-Up of Reading Recovery show that impact estimates were remarkably similar between a randomized control…

Joyce, Kathryn E.; Cartwright, Nancy – American Educational Research Journal, 2020
This article addresses the gap between what works in research and what works in practice. Currently, research in evidence-based education policy and practice focuses on randomized controlled trials. These can support causal ascriptions ("It worked") but provide little basis for local effectiveness predictions ("It will work…

Mendelson, Tamar; Clary, Laura K.; Sibinga, Erica; Tandon, Darius; Musci, Rashelle; Mmari, Kristin; Salkever, David; Stuart, Elizabeth; Ialongo, Nick – Grantee Submission, 2020
Introduction: Youth in disadvantaged urban areas are frequently exposed to chronic stress and trauma, including housing instability, neighborhood violence, and other poverty-related adversities. These exposures increase risk for emotional, behavioral, and academic problems and ultimately, school dropout. Schools are a promising setting in which to…
