Tsai, Hung-Hsu; Lai, Yen-Shou; Lo, Shih-Che; Yu, Pao-Ta – Educational Technology & Society, 2015
The paper investigates the impact of learning effects on the study of life-like multimedia materials (LMMs) which are produced by the LMM tool. Teachers can readily utilize the tool to make the LMMs for their instructions in traditional classrooms. When students study the LMMs out of class, they can realistically recall teacher's teaching…

Konstantopoulos, Spyros; Miller, Shazia Rafiullah; van der Ploeg, Arie – Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, 2013
Interim assessments are increasingly common in U.S. schools. We use high-quality data from a large-scale school-level cluster randomized experiment to examine the impact of two well-known commercial interim assessment programs on mathematics and reading achievement in Indiana. Results indicate that the treatment effects are positive but not…

Cessna, Stephen; Neufeld, Douglas Graber; Horst, S. Jeanne – Natural Sciences Education, 2013
Claims of the (non-)sustainability of a given agricultural practice generally hinge on scientific evidence and the reliability of that evidence, or at least the perception of its reliability. Advocates of sustainable agriculture may dismiss science as purely subjective, or at the other extreme, may inappropriately elevate scientific findings to…
