  • Two-Year Versus One-Year Head Start Program Impact

    Christine Leow, Xiaoli Wen et al.ARTICLEApplied Developmental Science2015

    This article compares regression modeling and propensity score analysis as different types of statistical techniques used in addressing selection bias when estimating the impact of two-year versus one-year Head Start on children's school readiness. The analyses were based on the national Head Start secondary dataset. After controlling for covariates, regression modeling showed that program duration (two years vs. one year) was a significant predi…

  • Challenges of planning a birth-to-three evaluation

    Open AccessChristine Leow, Aimee Hilado et al.ARTICLEJournal of Early Childhood Research2014References: 3

    In an effort to bring rigorous research into the education and social sciences field, the past decade had seen an increase in the advocacy of randomized controlled trials. The argument in favor of using randomized controlled trial is that one can evaluate the impact of an intervention in comparison to a control group with confidence during a summative evaluation. However, before coming to the stage of conducting a randomized controlled trial, ext…

  • Effects of Advanced Course-taking on Math and Science Achievement

    Open AccessChristine Leow, Sue Marcus et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Evaluation2004Cited by: 5

    Does taking advanced courses improve scores on basic achievement tests? This question is difficult to answer because there are many systematic differences between students who choose to take advanced courses and those who don’t. This paper uses cutting-edge propensity score methods to control for the selection bias that exists when studying the effects of advanced course-taking on a basic achievement test in math and science. In particular, the d…
