  • The Intellectual Foundations of Education: Core Journals and Their Impacts on Scholarship and Practice

    Open AccessRodney K Goodyear, Dominic J Brewer et al.ARTICLEEducational Researcher2009Cited by: 5References: 25

    Academic journals are the primary mode of communication among researchers, and they play a central role in the creation, diffusion, and use of knowledge. This article updates previous attempts to identify a core set of journals that most education scholars would acknowledge as consequential sources. On the basis of nominations from a panel of experts, 11 primary journals were identified; 3 of these— American Educational Research Journal, Educatio…

  • High School Career Academies: A Pathway to Educational Reform in Urban School Districts

    Dominic J Brewer, Nan L Maxwell et al.ARTICLEIndustrial and Labor Relations…2001

    Maxwell and Rubin examine the capacity of career academies to address academic reform in terms of increased education and workplace skills. They accomplish this on two levels. First, they assess academies' development and implementation within an urban school district.

  • Does Teacher Certification Matter? High School Teacher Certification Status and Student Achievement

    Open AccessDan Goldhaber, Dan D Goldhaber et al.ARTICLEEducational Evaluation and Policy…2000

    We empirically test how 12th-grade students of teachers with probationary certification, emergency certification, private school certification, or no certification in their subject area compare relative to students of teachers who have standard certification in their subject area. We also determine whether specific state-by-state differences in teacher licensure requirements systematically affect student achievement. In mathematics, we find teach…

  • Detracking America's schools: Equity at zero cost

    Open AccessLaura M Argys, Daniel I Rees et al.ARTICLEJournal of Policy Analysis and…1996References: 6

    Schools across the country are ending the practice of grouping students based on ability, in part, because of research indicating that tracking hurts low-ability students without helping students of other ability levels. Using a nationally representative survey conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics, (NCES) we reexamine the impact of tracking on high school student achievement through the estimation of a standard education prod…

  • Do Teachers' Race, Gender, and Ethnicity Matter? Evidence from the National Educational Longitudinal Study of 1988

    Open AccessRonald G Ehrenberg, Daniel D Goldhaber et al.ARTICLEIndustrial and Labor Relations…1995Cited by: 62References: 9

    Using data from the National Educational Longitudinal Study of 1988 (NELS), the authors find that the match between teachers' race, gender, and ethnicity and those of their students had little association with how much the students learned, but in several instances it seems to have been a significant determinant of teachers' subjective evaluations of their students. For example, test scores of white female students in mathematics and science did …
