Abstract This article compares and contrasts two versions of the Education Endowment Foundation's (EEF) Teaching Learning Toolkit (‘Toolkit’), a web‐based summary international evidence on teaching 3–18 year‐olds. The has localised in six different languages Australia, Cameroon, Chile, Jordan Spain. initial Toolkit, created 2011 with funding from Sutton Trust updated since then EEF, drew upon over 250 meta‐analyses across 30 areas education research. An version, drawing database 2500 single...
Higher physical activity (PA) has been linked to better health and functioning. Trajectories of PA associated factors have studied in older adults aged ≥65, but less is known about influences on change the very old (aged ≥85).To investigate with self-reported over time adults.845 participants Newcastle 85+ Study were followed for functioning at 1.5-, 3-, 5-year follow-up (wave 2 4). scores (range 0-18) levels (low (PA 0-1), medium (2-6) high (7-18)) determined using a purpose-designed...
Meta‐analysis is the synthesis of findings from research projects, which enables an estimate average or pooled effect across various studies. This study presents intention to treat analysis for a series educational evaluations in England using two‐stage meta‐analysis with standardised outcome data and individual participant meta‐analyses. The estimates overall impact trials on pupils eligible Free School Meals (FSM) attainment gap literacy mathematics performance between FSM non‐FSM based 88...
In education, multisite trials involve randomization of pupils into intervention and comparison groups within schools. Most analytical models in educational ignore that the impact an may be school dependent. This study investigates statistical on uncertainty associated with effect size using comparable outcomes covariates from ten funded by UK's Education Endowment Foundation. Ordinary least squares (OLS) often assume pupil's schools are independent, which is not always true. Multilevel...
Educational stakeholders are keen to know the magnitude and importance of different interventions. However, way evidence is communicated support understanding effectiveness an intervention controversial. Typically studies in education have used standardised mean difference as a measure impact This measure, commonly known effect size, problematic, terms how it interpreted understood. In this study, we propose “gain index” alternative metric for quantifying communicating intervention....
Educational researchers advocate the use of an effect size and its confidence interval to assess effectiveness interventions instead relying on a p-value, which has been blamed for lack reproducibility research findings misuse statistics. The aim this study is provide framework, can direct evidence whether intervention works participants in educational trial as first step before generalizing wider population. A hierarchical Bayesian model was applied ten cluster multisite trials funded by...
