Differences in effect sizes between researcher developed (RD) and independently developed (ID) outcome measures are widely documented but poorly understood in education research. We conduct a meta-analysis using item-level outcome data to test potential mechanisms that explain differences in effects by RD or ID outcome type. Our analysis of 45…

To determine the effects of explicit instruction (EI) and potential moderators in second/foreign language (L2) teaching, this study meta-analyzed 28 primary reports (a total of 67 unique samples, N = 3754). The main results show that EI was significantly effective in facilitating L2 development, with effect sizes ranging from moderate to large…

Hamdani et al. recently provided guidance for prospective authors on a wide range of issues encountered in quantitative research papers submitted for review at the "Journal of Management Education." Building on their insights, this essay focuses on experimental designs and provides more specific guidance and recommendations for…

Over the past 20 years, some of the most notable arts education policy initiatives have taken place in urban areas with the creation of metropolitan arts education partnerships. Aside from a few impact studies and isolated reports, little research exists that specifically analyzes their policy implications. Therefore, the purpose of this study was…

Background: Developing treatment goals and hierarchies is fundamental to effective intervention. Despite this, interventions are often vaguely or ambiguously described, negatively impacting outcome measurement, client engagement, and team communication. THIMS (Target, Hierarchy, Ingredients, Measures, Success Criterion) is a novel intervention…
