Burke, Kevin J.; DeLeon, Abraham – Critical Studies in Education, 2020
According to the 2013 report by the National Council on Teacher Quality (NCTQ), most teacher education programs are failing in the United States. These programs, NCTQ insists, are not preparing new teachers with sufficiently 'scientific' methods and are, in the process, failing to properly train prospective teachers how to 'lead the classroom' (p.…

Prior research has not investigated perceived added education value in courses. Using a sample of 165 graduating business students, two business administration (BA) scales were created from six required BA core courses as part of students' Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) degree. Students were asked if each required course "added…

Parsons, Eric; Koedel, Cory; Tan, Li – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2019
We study the relative performance of two policy-relevant value-added models--a one-step fixed effect model and a two-step aggregated residuals model--using a simulated data set well grounded in the value-added literature. A key feature of our data generating process is that student achievement depends on a continuous measure of economic…

Austin, Wes; Chen, Bingjie; Goldhaber, Dan; Hanushek, Eric; Holden, Kris; Koedel, Cory; Ladd, Helen; Luo, Jin; Parsons, Eric; Phelan, Gregory; Rivkin, Steven; Sass, Tim; Turaeva, Mavzuna – National Center for Analysis of Longitudinal Data in Education Research (CALDER), 2019
An increasing emphasis on principals as key to school improvement has contributed to efforts to elevate principal effectiveness that have taken various forms across the US. The primacy of the state as the focal point of educational reform elevates the value of understanding commonalities and differences among states in characteristics of…

James Soland – Annenberg Institute for School Reform at Brown University, 2019
Research has begun to investigate whether teachers and schools are as effective with certain student subgroups as they are with the overall student population. Most of this research has examined the issue by trying to produce causal estimates of school contributions to short-term student growth (usually using value-added models) and has emphasized…

Marder, Michael; David, Bernard; Hamrock, Caitlin – Education Policy Analysis Archives, 2020
Texas provides a unique opportunity to examine teachers without standard university preparation, for it prepares more teachers through alternative pathways than any other state. We find two advantages for mathematics and science teachers prepared in the standard way. First, since 2008 they have been staying in the classroom longer than those who…

Pivovarova, Margarita; Amrein-Beardsley, Audrey – Educational Assessment, 2018
While states are no longer required to set up teacher evaluation systems based in significant part on student test scores, quite a few continue to use value-added (VAMs) or student growth percentile (SGP) models for that purpose. In this study, we analyzed three years of teacher data to illustrate the performance of teachers' median growth…

Anecdotal evidence points to the importance of school principals, but the limited existing research has neither provided consistent results nor indicated any set of essential characteristics of effective principals. This paper exploits extensive student-level panel data across six states to investigate both variations in principal performance and…

Fujita, Taro; Doney, Jonathan; Flanagan, Ruth; Wegerif, Rupert – Education 3-13, 2021
This paper reports on a study of collaborative group work in mathematics. Although collaborative group work is known as one of the important approaches in education, it is still uncertain how group thinking can be measured in various learning contexts. We used the Group Thinking Measure (GTM) test developed by [Wegerif, R., T. Fujita, J. Doney, J.…

DeAngelis, Corey A. – Educational Review, 2021
Students' abilities are multidimensional; teachers and schools shape students' cognitive skills, most often captured by test scores, but they also shape students' non-cognitive skills such as character, tolerance, effort, and conscientiousness. This study reviews the evidence indicating disconnects between test scores and non-cognitive skills from…

Phantharakphong, Phatchara; Liyanage, Indika – Asia-Pacific Journal of Teacher Education, 2022
Understanding teacher learning, and relations between that learning and practice, has become a research priority in the quest for quality. Managerial policy discourses that commodify teachers as academic capital encourage institutions to adopt linear models of professional learning and development (PLD) as auditable value-adding, yet this…

McEachin, Andrew; Atteberry, Allison – Education Finance and Policy, 2017
State and federal accountability policies are predicated on the ability to estimate valid and reliable measures of school impacts on student learning. The typical spring-to-spring testing window potentially conflates the amount of learning that occurs during the school year with learning that occurs during the summer. We use a unique dataset to…
