Sana, Faria; Forrin, Noah D.; Sharma, Mrinalini; Dubljevic, Tamara; Ho, Peter; Jalil, Ezza; Kim, Joseph A. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2020
Learning objectives (LOs) are statements that typically precede a study session and describe the knowledge students should obtain by the end of the session. Despite their widespread use, limited research has investigated the effect of LOs on learning. In three laboratory experiments, we examined the extent to which LOs improve retention of…

Weisberg, Steven M.; Badgio, Daniel; Chatterjee, Anjan – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2018
Knowing where north is provides a navigator with invaluable information for learning and recalling a space, particularly in places with limited navigational cues, like complex indoor environments. Although north is effectively used by orienteers, pilots, and military personnel, very little is known about whether nonexpert populations can or will…

Herrmann-Abell, Cari F.; Hardcastle, Joseph; DeBoer, George E. – Grantee Submission, 2018
This paper describes the development and validation of a set of three assessment instruments that can be used to assess students' progress on the energy concept (ASPECt) from fourth through twelfth grade. Rasch analysis techniques were used throughout the development process to guide the construction of an item bank and the selection of items for…

Koundinya, Vikram; Klink, Jenna; Widhalm, Melissa – Journal of Extension, 2017
Extension educators are increasingly using online resources in their program design and delivery. Usability testing is essential for ensuring that these resources are relevant and useful to learners. On the basis of our experiences with iteratively developing products using a testing service called UserTesting, we promote the use of fee-based…

Vaughn, Sharon; Capin, Philip; Scammacca, Nancy; Roberts, Greg; Cirino, Paul; Fletcher, Jack M. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2020
This study examines the initial word reading performance of fourth-grade struggling readers and the extent to which differing levels of word reading performance at pretest influenced their response to reading interventions. A large group of students with significant reading comprehension difficulties (N = 481) were classified into three clusters…

Fahmie, Tara A.; Luczynski, Kevin C. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2018
Over the past decade, researchers have replicated and extended research on the preschool life skills (PLS) program developed by Hanley, Heal, Tiger, and Ingvarsson (2007). This review summarizes recent research with respect to maximizing skill acquisition, improving generality, evaluating feasibility and acceptability, and testing predictions of…

Mojtahedi, Mohammad; Kamardeen, Imriyas; Rahmat, Homa; Ryan, Catherine – Journal of Civil Engineering Education, 2020
Universities are facing many challenges with growing student numbers and a need to modify the traditional lecture and tutorial-based face-to-face pedagogical style both for students who work full-time while studying and for international students who may have language difficulties. To address these challenges, a flipped classroom pedagogical model…

Martin, Stephanie L.; Birhanu, Zewdie; Omotayo, Moshood O.; Kebede, Yohannes; Pelto, Gretel H.; Stoltzfus, Rebecca J.; Dickin, Katherine L. – Field Methods, 2017
Cognitive interviewing is a method to develop culturally appropriate survey questions and scale items. We conducted two rounds of cognitive interviews with 24 pregnant women in Ethiopia and Kenya to assess the appropriateness, acceptability, and comprehension of general and micronutrient supplement adherence-specific social support scales. We…

Traube, Dorian E.; Begun, Stephanie; Petering, Robin; Flynn, Marilyn L. – Research on Social Work Practice, 2017
The field of social work does not currently have a widely adopted method for expediting innovations into micro- or macropractice. Although it is common in fields such as engineering and business to have formal processes for accelerating scientific advances into consumer markets, few comparable mechanisms exist in the social sciences or social…

M? Quyên Lê, Katrina; Butterfield, Anthony; Kelly, Kerry; Gaillardon, Pierre-Emmanuel; Tingey, Kyle; Becnel, Thomas – Chemical Engineering Education, 2018
Using low-cost electronic components and building blocks, we have developed an effective teaching module where students design and test light-scattering, air-quality sensors to introduce them to chemical and environmental engineering research. This module has been successful in engaging the public, developing citizen scientists, and bridging gaps…

St. Clair, Travis; Hallberg, Kelly; Cook, Thomas D. – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2016
We explore the conditions under which short, comparative interrupted time-series (CITS) designs represent valid alternatives to randomized experiments in educational evaluations. To do so, we conduct three within-study comparisons, each of which uses a unique data set to test the validity of the CITS design by comparing its causal estimates to…

Michal Kurlaender; Jacob Jackson; Eric Grodsky; Jessica Howell – Annenberg Institute for School Reform at Brown University, 2019
In this paper we investigate the impact of a statewide program aimed at better aligning K-12 to higher education and improving college readiness. We replicate an earlier study focused on the effects of this program at one campus by employing detailed administrative data on the census of California students that enroll at all twenty-three campuses…

Wiersma, Gabrielle; Tovstiadi, Esta – portal: Libraries and the Academy, 2017
This article presents the results of a study of academic e-books that compared the metadata and search results from major academic e-book platforms. The authors collected data and performed a series of test searches designed to produce the same result regardless of platform. Testing, however, revealed metadata-related errors and significant…

Kim, Sooyeon; Robin, Frederic – ETS Research Report Series, 2017
In this study, we examined the potential impact of item misfit on the reported scores of an admission test from the subpopulation invariance perspective. The target population of the test consisted of 3 major subgroups with different geographic regions. We used the logistic regression function to estimate item parameters of the operational items…
