Stanley, Paula Helen; Purkey, William Watson – Research in the Schools, 1994
The relationship between invitational education and student self-concept-as-learner was studied with 175 students in the seventh grade and again in the ninth grade. Self-concept-as-learner scores did not decline over this two-year period as predicted on the basis of other studies for students who participated in invitational education, a set of…

Howerton, D. Lynn; Enger, John M.; Cobbs, Charles R. – Research in the Schools, 1994
This pilot study investigated self-esteem and achievement of 42 black male rural junior high school students identified as at-risk by their teachers. Self-esteem was significantly related to achievement test composite scores and science and mathematics subtests, as well as to average grade and English and social studies grades. (SLD)

Moon, Soo-Back; Byun, Chang-Jin; McLean, James E.; Kaufman, Alan S. – Research in the Schools, 1994
Korean children (n=440) aged 2.5 to 12.5 years were tested with the Korean version of the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children (K-ABC) (A. Kaufman and N. Kaufman, 1983) to see if these children demonstrated a profile similar to that of Japanese children. Korean children scored higher on the Sequential Scale than Japanese children, and had a…

Johnson, Colleen Cook; Rakow, Ernest A. – Research in the Schools, 1994
This research is an empirical study, through Monte Carlo simulation, of the effects of violations of the assumptions for the oneway fixed-effects analysis of variance (ANOVA) and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). Research reaffirms findings of previous studies that suggest that ANOVA and ANCOVA be avoided when group sizes are not equal. (SLD)

Kim, Jwa K. – Research in the Schools, 1994
Effects of item parameters on ability estimation were investigated through Monte Carlo studies using the Expected-A-Posteriori estimation. Results show a significant effect of item discriminating parameter on standard error of ability estimation. As the discriminating parameter increases, the standard error decreases. (SLD)
Descriptors: Ability, Error of Measurement, Estimation (Mathematics), Item Response Theory
