Pragmatic measures for school-based research and practice
Pragmatic measures of middle school student stress and coping
Profiles of principal stress and coping
The relationship between teacher stress and job satisfaction as moderated by coping
The present study investigated the relationship between teacher stress and job satisfaction, and examined the role of coping as a moderator. Based on the transactional and Coping‐Competence‐Context models of stress we expected that coping would serve as a protective factor in the relationship between teacher stress and their job satisfaction. Stress, coping, and satisfaction were measured using single‐item scales which are cost‐effective and prac…
Exploring the link between principal leadership and family engagement across elementary and middle school
Sensitivity Analysis and Extensions of Testing the Causal Direction of Dependence
A commentary by Thoemmes on Wiedermann and Sebastian's introductory article on Direction Dependence Analysis (DDA) is responded to in the interest of elaborating and extending direction dependence principles to evaluate causal effect directionality. Considering Thoemmes' observation that some DDA principles are already well-established in machine learning, we argue that several other connections between DDA and research lines in theoretical stati…
Direction Dependence Analysis in the Presence of Confounders
Statistical methods to identify mis-specifications of linear regression models with respect to the direction of dependence (i.e. whether x→y or y→x better approximates the data-generating mechanism) have received considerable attention. Direction dependence analysis (DDA) constitutes such a statistical tool and makes use of higher-moment information of variables to derive statements concerning directional model mis-specifications in observational…
The Role of Teacher Leadership in How Principals Influence Classroom Instruction and Student Learning
School principals can play an important role in promoting teacher leadership by delegating authority and empowering teachers in ways that allow them influence in key organizational decisions and processes. However, it is unclear whether instruction and student learning are enhanced by promoting teacher influence in all aspects of school organization or whether it is better for principals to directly work on certain processes while delegating infl…
The role of schools in bridging within-school achievement gaps based on socioeconomic status
Since the publication of the Coleman report in 1966, research on the role of schools in influencing student achievement relative to the role of family background has generated considerable interest and controversy. A large volume of international and comparative research has also been devoted to studying school effects on student achievement. Relatively few studies have examined international differences in the importance of schools in bridging a…
The Influence of Principal Leadership on Classroom Instruction and Student Learning
Purpose: This study examines the influence of principal leadership in high schools on classroom instruction and student achievement through key organizational factors, including professional capacity, parent–community ties, and the school’s learning climate. It identifies paths through which leadership explains differences in achievement and instruction between schools and differences in instruction among teachers within the same school. Research…
Learning Activities and Third-Year Medical Student Ratings of High Quality Teaching Across Different Clerkships
Receiving high quality feedback is the learning activity most strongly associated with students' ratings of high quality teaching across four different clerkships
An Assessment of the Impact of Multimedia, Technology-Based Learning Tools on the Cardiac Auscultation Skills of Third-Year Medical Students
The combination of traditional lecture and multi-media, technology-based, self-directed learning tools appears to be an effective and efficient strategy for teaching and reinforcing cardiac auscultation skills to third year medical students
