Um mit Ergebnissen der Bildungsforschung wirksame und effiziente Bildungspolitik zu betreiben, ist ein besserer Zugang zu Bildungsdaten für die Forschung dringend notwendig. Lehrkräftemangel, PISA-Krise, Digitalisierung - das deutsche Bildungssystem hat seit Jahren erhebliche Probleme. Um eine...

Systematic literature reviews in educational research have become a popular research method. A key point hereby is the choice of bibliographic databases to reach a maximum probability of finding all potentially relevant literature that deals with the research question analyzed in a systematic...

The COVID-19 pandemic caused significant disruption in schooling in the U.S., and student test scores showed dramatic declines by the end of the 2020-21 school year. We use state test score data to analyze patterns of test score recovery over the 2021-22 school year. On average, we find that 20%...

In previous research, a substantial gap in test scores between White and Black students persists, even after controlling for a wide range of observable characteristics. Using a newly available data set (Early Childhood Longitudinal Study), we demonstrate that in stark contrast to earlier...

The view that empirical strategies in economics should be transparent and credible now goes almost without saying. The local average treatment effects (LATE) framework for causal inference helped make this so. The LATE theorem tells us for whom particular instrumental variables (IV) and...

Insbesondere seit dem „PISA-Schock“ nach der ersten PISA-Veröffentlichung im Jahr 2001 hat die Forschung umfassende Einzelbefunde zu sozialer Ungleichheit, vor allem in der schulischen Bildung, vorgelegt. Soziale Ungleichheiten des Bildungserwerbs wurden dabei in allen Bildungsbereichen,...

A sound knowledge of sociological theory allows educators to think critically about the complexities of education for all children, young people, their families and communities. Understanding Sociological Theory for Educational Practices introduces the diversity of contemporary learning...

"Issues related to teaching and learning information systems (IS) concepts have received keen interest from IS academics since the discipline's inception over 60 years ago. Bringing together cutting-edge research from over 30 international experts, Teaching Information Systems presents a timely...

Peer effects are potentially important for understanding the optimal organization of schools, jobs, and neighborhoods, but finding evidence is difficult because people are selected into peer groups based, in part, on their unobservable characteristics. I identify the effects of peers whom a...

The recent federal education bill, No Child Left Behind, requires states to test students in grades three to eight each year, and to judge school performance on the basis of these test scores. While intended to maximize student learning, there is little empirical evidence about the effectiveness...

Multilevel models are widely used in education and social science research. However, the effects of omitting levels of the hierarchy on the variance decomposition and the clustering effects have not been well documented. This paper discusses how omitting one level in three-level models affects...

Despite its high relevance to current policy debates, estimating the causal effect of Information Communication Technology (ICT) investment on educational standards remains fraught with difficulties. In this paper, we exploit a change in the rules governing ICT funding across different school...

International surveys of educational achievement are typically analysed in isolation from each other with no indication as to whether new results confirm or contradict those from earlier surveys. The paper pulls together results from four surveys to compare average levels of achievement,...

When parents are more educated, their children tend to receive more schooling as well. Does this occur because parental ability is passed on genetically or because more educated parents provide a better environment for children to flourish? Using an intergenerational sample of families, we...

This research investigated the effect of asynchronous instructional strategy on learning motivation and scores of postgraduate students in Advanced Educational Research in Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. The research sample comprised 120 postgraduate students drawn through convenience sampling...

We use state test score data to analyze patterns of test score recovery over the 2021-22 school year. On average, we find that 20%...

In their editorial review, the JLE editors consider the concept of gamification, its spread in higher education research, and relevance at present. The authors analyse the current Scopus statistics to prove the prominence of the theme for researchers. The JLE scope can be further enriched via...

Many countries in sub-Saharan Africa identify technology as a viable complementary tool to improve learning outcomes in primary and secondary education. New research evidence from The Gambia suggests that a student-centered computer-assisted learning (CAL) program significantly improves student...

Recent decades have seen a growing understanding that legal education can be improved and informed by empirical analysis of curriculum design, teaching approaches, student learning strategies and broader contextual factors. However, access to that analysis has been impeded by a lack of broad...

In the last decade, the call for sharing research data has intensified within the educational research community in Germany. This development has taken place within the professional communities and it has been spurred by research funding organizations mandating researchers to share their...

Buen Vivir wird zunehmend im Kontext von Bildung für nachhaltige Entwicklung (BNE) thematisiert. Gleichwohl sind die zugrundeliegenden Debatten zur Beziehung von Buen Vivir und Nachhaltigkeit nicht abgeschlossen und durch Kontroversen gekennzeichnet: Buen Vivir gilt einerseits als eine...

Across the OECD, enormous effort and investment has been made to reinforce the quality, production and use of education research in policy and practice. Despite this, using research in education remains a challenge for many countries and systems. The OECD launched the Strengthening the Impact of...

This paper examines whether adding higher-order active learning modalities in the forms of semester-long problem-based learning (PBL), simulation, or community social service/project-based learning (CSS/PBL) assignments in a marketing principles class improve learning outcomes. While there is...

PISA is seen as the gold standard for evaluating educational outcomes worldwide. Yet, being a low-stakes exam, students may not take it seriously resulting in downward biased scores and inaccurate rankings. This paper provides a method to identify and account for non-serious behavior in...
