Qualitative research methods were used to conduct case studies of two secondary schools in Australia, focusing on the provision of support for students with different learning needs. Interview data were used to report differences in collective beliefs, values and descriptions of school practice that foster two contrasting school cultures. One of these school cultures is described as more inclusive and the other as more traditional. The study used…
Individual differences in story comprehension and recall of poor readers
This study sought to identify poor readers and characterise weaknesses in their knowledge and use of story structure in comprehension and recall. Eighty year 3 children, 20 good readers and 60 poor readers, were selected from an initial pool of children based on factor analysis of scores from three measures of reading ability. The poor readers were then divided into relatively homogeneous subgroups, using eight additional measures of language‐rea…
Planning for incomplete data collection in educational research
This paper presents a preliminary investigation of parameter estimation for planned incomplete data in educational research. An algorithm recommended by Beale and Little (1975) is used to estimate correlations for each of the two sets of six variables, based on correlational data obtained from previous research by the authors and from a paper in an educational publication. The algorithm, which gives an estimator which is maximum likelihood for da…
