What Works Clearinghouse, 2021
The What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) identifies existing research on educational interventions, assesses the quality of the research, and summarizes and disseminates the evidence from studies that meet WWC standards. The WWC aims to provide enough information so educators can use the research to make informed decisions in their settings. This…

Solís-Cordero, Katherine; Lerner, Rogério; Marinho, Patricia; Camargo, Patricia; Takey, Silvia; Fujimori, Elizabeth – International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 2022
The current situation due to the COVID-19 pandemic has had huge consequences in all aspects of our lives, including the development of research activities. Studies involving face-to-face interaction with people, such as randomized controlled trials, were the first affected. The objective of this article is to present the insights on challenges…

UK Department for Education, 2022
At every stage since the start of the pandemic, decisions across education and childcare have been informed by the scientific and medical evidence -- both on the risks of coronavirus (COVID-19) infection, transmission and illness, and on the known risks to children and young people not attending education settings -- balancing public health and…

Wilhelmina van Dijk; Cynthia U. Norris; Sara A. Hart – Grantee Submission, 2022
Randomized control trials are considered the pinnacle for causal inference. In many cases, however, randomization of participants in social work research studies is not feasible or ethical. This paper introduces the co-twin control design study as an alternative quasi-experimental design to provide evidence of causal mechanisms when randomization…

Shahid A. Choudhry; Timothy J. Muckle; Christopher J. Gill; Rajat Chadha; Magnus Urosev; Matt Ferris; John C. Preston – Practical Assessment, Research & Evaluation, 2024
The National Board of Certification and Recertification for Nurse Anesthetists (NBCRNA) conducted a one-year research study comparing performance on the traditional continued professional certification assessment, administered at a test center or online with remote proctoring, to a longitudinal assessment that required answering quarterly…

Yanping Pei; Adam Sales; Johann Gagnon-Bartsch – Grantee Submission, 2024
Randomized A/B tests within online learning platforms enable us to draw unbiased causal estimators. However, precise estimates of treatment effects can be challenging due to minimal participation, resulting in underpowered A/B tests. Recent advancements indicate that leveraging auxiliary information from detailed logs and employing design-based…

Sandgren, Olof; Andersson, Ketty; Lyberg Åhlander, Viveka; Rosqvist, Ida; Hansson, Kristina; Sahlén, Birgitta – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2023
Background: Continued professional development (CPD) is required for updated skills and knowledge. This study evaluates the efficacy of a CPD programme for mainstream school teachers. Aims: In an 11-week intervention programme, speech-language therapists (SLTs) presented the participating teachers with whole-class teaching techniques aimed at…

Bogomolova, Katerina; Vorstenbosch, Marc A. T. M.; El Messaoudi, Inssaf; Holla, Micha; Hovius, Steven E. R.; van der Hage, Jos A.; Hierck, Beerend P. – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2023
Binocular disparity provides one of the important depth cues within stereoscopic three-dimensional (3D) visualization technology. However, there is limited research on its effect on learning within a 3D augmented reality (AR) environment. This study evaluated the effect of binocular disparity on the acquisition of anatomical knowledge and…

Kelsey Maria Dillehay – ProQuest LLC, 2023
The purpose of the current study was to examine the dosage and fidelity of EMT en Español strategies that are posited to drive change in child outcomes. The study is a re-analysis of data collected during the National Institutes of Health (NIH) R21 grant "Teaching Spanish-speaking Caregivers to Implement EMT en Español: A Small Randomized…

Shen, Zuchao; Kelcey, Benjamin – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2020
Conventional optimal design frameworks consider a narrow range of sampling cost structures that thereby constrict their capacity to identify the most powerful and efficient designs. We relax several constraints of previous optimal design frameworks by allowing for variable sampling costs in cluster-randomized trials. The proposed framework…

McPherson, Amy; Saltmarsh, Sue; Tomkins, Sara – British Educational Research Journal, 2020
Despite ongoing disagreement about what kinds of evidence are most valuable to education, there continues to be an increasing push to make a narrow group of scientific methodologies the basis of educational policy and practice. This has created a growth in the use of randomised control trials (RCTs), which are considered an exemplary example of…

Xinran Li; Peng Ding; Donald B. Rubin – Grantee Submission, 2020
With many pretreatment covariates and treatment factors, the classical factorial experiment often fails to balance covariates across multiple factorial effects simultaneously. Therefore, it is intuitive to restrict the randomization of the treatment factors to satisfy certain covariate balance criteria, possibly conforming to the tiers of…

Wu, Edward; Gagnon-Bartsch, Johann A. – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2021
In paired experiments, participants are grouped into pairs with similar characteristics, and one observation from each pair is randomly assigned to treatment. The resulting treatment and control groups should be well-balanced; however, there may still be small chance imbalances. Building on work for completely randomized experiments, we propose a…

de Veld, Danielle M. J.; Scheeren, Anke M.; Howlin, Patricia; Hoddenbach, Elske; Mulder, Fleur; Wolf, Imke; Begeer, Sander – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
This RCT investigated whether participants' sibling configuration moderated the effect of a Theory of Mind (ToM) intervention for children with autism. Children with autism aged 8-13 years (n = 141) were randomized over a waitlist control or treatment condition. Both having more siblings, as well as having an older sibling were related to better…

Mulhall, Peter; Taggart, Laurence; McAloon, Toni; Coates, Vivien – Journal of Applied Research in Intellectual Disabilities, 2021
Background: Globally, conducting randomised controlled trials can be a complex endeavour. The complexity increases when including participants with cognitive or intellectual disabilities. A fuller understanding of the barriers and challenges that can be expected in such trials may help researchers to make their trials more inclusive for people…
