Why We Need a Structured Abstract in Education Research
Background: Approximately 1,100 education journals collectively publish more than 20,000 education research articles each year. Under current practice, no systematic way exists to move the research findings from these studies into the hands of the millions of education practitioners and policymakers in the United States who might use them. Purpose:To help disseminate education research findings, we propose that education journals consider adoptin…

The Tennessee Study of Class Size in the Early School Grades
The Tennessee class size project is a three-phase study designed to determine the effect of smaller class size in the earliest grades on short-term and long-term pupil performance. The first phase of this project, termed Project STAR (for Student-Teacher Achievement Ratio), was begun in 1985, when Lamar Alexander was governor of Tennessee. Governor Alexander, who later served as secretary of education in the cabinet of President George Bush, had …
A Survey of Current Problems in Meta-Analysis
The United States Agency for Health Care Policy and Research brought together representatives from each of the Patient Outcomes Research Teams (PORTs) as the Inter-PORT Meta-Analysis Work Group. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss a wide range of problems the panel had encountered in the area of meta-analysis. Several actual problems were presented, and tentative solutions to those problems were given. The PORTs had to consider issues such …

Discrete Multivariate Analysis
At last, after a decade of mounting interest in log-linear and related models for the analysis of discrete multivariate data, particularly in the form of multidimensional tables, we now have a comprehensive text and general reference on the Even a mediocre attempt to organize the extensive and widely scattered literature on discrete multivariate analysis would be welcome; happily, this is an excellent such effort, but a group of Harvard statistic…

Stochastic models for learning.
"The object of this book is to contribute to the study of learning--one of the many fields of psychology. A possible probabilistic framework or model for analyzing data from a variety of experiments on animal and human learning is presented. This model is described in general terms and is applied to a number of experiments. The stress is on the viewpoint that learning is probabilistic or stochastic--that events change the probabilities of the var…

Nationalities and 1944
LONG before Theodore Roosevelt invented the adjective “hyphenated” for recently assimilated Americans, men argued over the social effects of such labels. That argument no one will ever be able to end. But many astute observers have also long disagreed over whether there is such a fact as a hyphenated vote. The following article, using the 1940 election as a test study, at long last brings to this second argument statistical facts. Louis Bean, now…

Estimating Population Proportions
A FREQUENT problem in polling public opinion is to try to find from a sample the number or percentage of people in the country who hold differing attitudes on a particular issue. A common method is to use the answers to a single question on a poll to estimate the percentages of people in the nation who, for example, favor or oppose the given issue. The complexity of most social issues, however, makes this procedure of very limited value. One meth…
