Developing Situated Measures of Science Instruction Through an Innovative Electronic Portfolio App for Mobile Devices: Reliability, Validity, and Feasibility
Adoption of new instructional standards in science demands high-quality information about classroom practice. Teacher portfolios can be used to assess instructional practice and support teacher self-reflection anchored in authentic evidence from classrooms. This study investigated a new type of electronic portfolio tool that allows efficient capture of classroom artifacts in multimedia formats using mobile devices. We assess the psychometric prop…
A Comparison of Strategies for Recruiting Teachers Into Survey Panels
We examine a range of options for recruiting teachers into a nationally representative survey panel. Recruitment strategies considered include a telephone-based approach and the use of promised incentives and pre-incentives of varying amounts and forms. Using a randomized experiment, we evaluate the effectiveness of five separate recruitment strategies and conduct a cost-benefit analysis. Our preferred strategy is one that uses a US$10 gift card …
Integrating findings from surveys and case studies: Examples from a study of standards-based educational reform
Researchers are increasingly using multiple research methods when studying large-scale school reforms, and the literature contains limited guidance about how to do this well. Over the past five years, the authors combined state-wide teacher surveys and exemplary school case studies to examine the impact of standards-based educational reforms in Kentucky and Washington. This paper uses examples from the study of the effects of the Washington educa…
