Simulation Study of Nonequivalent Group-Matching and Regression-Discontinuity Designs: Evaluations of Gifted and Talented Programs.

Marsh, Herbert W.

Journal of Experimental Education, v66 n2 p163-92 Win 1998

Eight variations of a general matching design, matching program participants and a control group, were studied through simulation, for their effectiveness in evaluating programs for the gifted and talented. A regression-discontinuity design provided the best approach, with unbiased estimates of program effects. (SLD)
