Direct linkMachin, Helen E.; Shardlow, Steven M. – Research Ethics, 2018
Researchers engaged in studies about 'hidden social groups' are likely to face several ethical challenges. Using a study with undocumented Chinese migrants in the UK, challenges involved in obtaining approval by a university research ethics committee are explored. General guidance about how to resolve potential research ethics issues, with…

Lacy, Michael G.; Snodgrass, Jeffrey G.; Meyer, Mary C.; Dengah, H. J. Francois, II; Benedict, Noah – Field Methods, 2018
The most widely used formal approach to culture, the cultural consensus theory (CCT) of Romney, Weller, and Batchelder, originally relied on a priori definitions of cultural groups to map their unity and diversity. Retaining key features of classical CCT, we provide techniques to identify two or more cultural subgroups in a sample, whether those…

Beyerlein, Kraig; Barwis, Peter; Crubaugh, Bryant; Carnesecca, Cole – Sociological Methods & Research, 2018
The National Study of Protest Events (NSPE) employed hypernetwork sampling to generate the first-ever nationally representative sample of protest events. Nearly complete information about various event characteristics was collected from participants in 1,037 unique protests across the United States in 2010 to 2011. The first part of this article…

Finch, W. Holmes; Finch, Maria Hernández – Journal of Experimental Education, 2018
Single subject (SS) designs are popular in educational and psychological research. There exist several statistical techniques designed to analyze such data and to address the question of whether an intervention has the desired impact. Recently, researchers have suggested that generalized additive models (GAMs) might be useful for modeling…

Big data analytics are prevalent in fields like business, engineering, public health, and the physical sciences, but social scientists are slower than their peers in other fields in adopting this new methodology. One major reason for this is that traditional statistical procedures are typically not suitable for the analysis of large and complex…

Cappaert, Kevin J.; Wen, Yao; Chang, Yu-Feng – Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research and Perspectives, 2018
Events such as curriculum changes or practice effects can lead to item parameter drift (IPD) in computer adaptive testing (CAT). The current investigation introduced a point- and weight-adjusted D[superscript 2] method for IPD detection for use in a CAT environment when items are suspected of drifting across test administrations. Type I error and…

Makela, Susanna; Si, Yajuan; Gelman, Andrew – Grantee Submission, 2018
Cluster sampling is common in survey practice, and the corresponding inference has been predominantly design-based. We develop a Bayesian framework for cluster sampling and account for the design effect in the outcome modeling. We consider a two-stage cluster sampling design where the clusters are first selected with probability proportional to…

Uluyol, Çelebi; Orak, Esma; Gökçearslan, Sahin; Ramazanoglu, Mehmet – Participatory Educational Research, 2023
This study is designed to reveal the research trends of graduate theses published in the field of computer programming in K-12 between 2018 and 2022. Document analysis was used for data collection in this study. The data was divided into 9 categories, and the results demonstrated that the scholars in the Departments of Computer Educational and…

The body of research in the field of postsecondary education and disability is wide ranging and continues to evolve. Specifically, the literature corpus includes contributions from a range of professions and a considerable number of journals. This breadth of diversity in perspective presents significant advantages; however, it also presents…

Bueno, David Cababaro – Online Submission, 2020
This article provides an overview of research methodologies and designs, sample techniques and approaches, research ethics, and strategies for assisting students with research in the new normal. Each strategy offers some advantages and disadvantages. In times of global health emergencies, virtual surveys surpassed traditional methods. Replacing…

Diao, Hongyu; Keller, Lisa – Applied Measurement in Education, 2020
Examinees who attempt the same test multiple times are often referred to as "repeaters." Previous studies suggested that repeaters should be excluded from the total sample before equating because repeater groups are distinguishable from non-repeater groups. In addition, repeaters might memorize anchor items, causing item drift under a…

Kelli A. Bird; Benjamin L. Castleman; Zachary Mabel; Yifeng Song – Annenberg Institute for School Reform at Brown University, 2021
Colleges have increasingly turned to predictive analytics to target at-risk students for additional support. Most of the predictive analytic applications in higher education are proprietary, with private companies offering little transparency about their underlying models. We address this lack of transparency by systematically comparing two…

Instructor Talk--noncontent language used by instructors in classrooms--is a recently defined and promising variable for better understanding classroom dynamics. Having previously characterized the Instructor Talk framework within the context of a single course, we present here our results surrounding the applicability of the Instructor Talk…

White, Simon R.; Bonnett, Laura J. – Teaching Statistics: An International Journal for Teachers, 2019
The statistical concept of sampling is often given little direct attention, typically reduced to the mantra "take a random sample". This low resource and adaptable activity demonstrates sampling and explores issues that arise due to biased sampling.
