Alexandru Cernat; Joseph Sakshaug; Pablo Christmann; Tobias Gummer – Sociological Methods & Research, 2024
Mixed-mode surveys are popular as they can save costs and maintain (or improve) response rates relative to single-mode surveys.

Leon, Carmen M.; Aizpurua, Eva; van der Valk, Sophie – Field Methods, 2022

Music teachers in schools that adopt one-to-one models may be inadequately equipped to integrate this kind of…

van Halema, Nicolette; van Klaveren, Chris; Drachsler, Hendrik; Schmitz, Marcel; Cornelisz, Ilja – Frontline Learning Research, 2020
For decades, self-report instruments -- which rely heavily on students' perceptions and beliefs -- have been the dominant way of measuring motivation and strategy use. Event-based measures based on online trace data arguably has the potential to remove analytical restrictions of self-report measures. The purpose of this study is therefore to…

We surveyed researchers in the health and exercise sciences to explore different areas and magnitudes of bias in researchers' decision making. Participants were presented with scenarios (testing a central hypothesis with p = 0.06 or p = 0.04) in a random order and surveyed about what they would do in each scenario. Participants showed significant…
