  • Building a Better Body of Evidence

    Open AccessAlan Ginsburg, Nancy RhettARTICLEAmerican Journal of Evaluation2003Cited by: 4References: 1

    A useful evaluation of an education program is one that adds to the body of timely, relevant evidence to increase the likelihood that policy decisions improve program performance. This definition focuses on performance rather than change and recognizes that studies can’t guarantee the use of their findings but can only increase the likelihood of such use. Adding to the body of sound program evidence is the evaluators’ main method for influencing …

  • The Antecedents of Teenage Fatherhood

    Open AccessSandra L Hanson, Donna Ruane Morrison et al.ARTICLEDemography1989Cited by: 15References: 29

    The High School and Beyond Survey was used to describe young men who are at risk of becoming teenage fathers and examine the causal process leading to early fathering for young men. Bivariate results show that men who are at risk of fathering children at a young age have unique attitudes and family, school, and dating experiences. Multivariate analyses suggest that the most cogent factors affecting teenage fathering include being black, going ste…

  • Gaining Ground

    Open AccessSandra L Hanson, Alan L Ginsburg et al.ARTICLEAmerican Educational Research…1988Cited by: 3References: 23

    In this paper, we use the nationally representative “High School and Beyond” ( National Center for Education Statistics [NCES], 1983 ) data to examine the relationship between a wide range of values that stress the notion of responsibility and high school students’ achievement test scores, grades, discipline problems, and dropout status. We also examine the extent to which students’ behaviors outside of school (e.g., watching television, doing ho…

  • Student Discipline and High School Performance

    David E Myers, Ann M Milne et al.ARTICLESociology of Education1987Cited by: 9

    This paper examines the relationship between student misbehavior and academic performance and the effects offamily structure and mother's employment on misbehavior and performance. Using panel data on high school sophomores from the High School and Beyond (HSB) survey, we estimate a number of linear panel models. The findings indicate that sophomores with low grades misbehave more as seniors than those with high grades. Academic achievement in th…

  • A federal role for computers in the schools

    Beatrice F Birman, Alan L Ginsburg et al.ARTICLETheory Into Practice1983References: 4

    a time when federal funding for education has substantially declined, the Computer Contribution Act of 1983, otherwise known as the Apple Bill, would provide for a liberalized tax deduction for donations of computers to elementary and secondary schools. Other bills would provide funds to train teachers to use computers, cancel federal loans to students who become teachers of computer technology (as well as teachers of math or science), and fund r…

  • Issues for a New Administration

    Brenda J Turnbull, Marshall S Smith et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Education1981Cited by: 3

    A new administration that advocates budget reductions, program consolidations, and deregulations in domestic policy is bringing major changes to the federal Department of Education. Created just a year ago, the department administers many programs that were forged in the 1960s and 1970s to increase equity and quality in the nation's schools. While the authors strongly endorse the purposes of these programs, it is contended that the prospect of re…
