Byman, Reijo; Maaranen, Katriina; Kansanen, Pertti – International Journal of Research & Method in Education, 2021
From the end of the 1970s, all teacher education programmes have been a part of academic higher education in Finland. Thus, TE has been implemented in universities and all Finnish comprehensive and upper-secondary school teachers have a master's degree. Research methods courses have been an essential part of teacher education courses for over 40…

Smith, Hilary A.; Haslett, Stephen J. – International Journal of Research & Method in Education, 2016
This paper discusses issues in the development of a methodology appropriate for eliciting sound quantitative data from primary school children in the complex contexts of ethnolinguistically diverse developing countries. Although these issues often occur in field-based surveys, the large extent and compound effects of their occurrence in…

Golino, Hudson F.; Gomes, Cristiano M. A. – International Journal of Research & Method in Education, 2016
This paper presents a non-parametric imputation technique, named random forest, from the machine learning field. The random forest procedure has two main tuning parameters: the number of trees grown in the prediction and the number of predictors used. Fifty experimental conditions were created in the imputation procedure, with different…

Hampden-Thompson, Gillian; Lubben, Fred; Bennett, Judith – International Journal of Research & Method in Education, 2011
Quantitative secondary analysis of large-scale data can be combined with in-depth qualitative methods. In this paper, we discuss the role of this combined methods approach in examining the uptake of physics and chemistry in post compulsory schooling for students in England. The secondary data analysis of the National Pupil Database (NPD) served…

The Use of National Data Sets to Baseline Science Education Reform: Exploring Value-Added Approaches
Homer, Matt; Ryder, Jim; Donnelly, Jim – International Journal of Research & Method in Education, 2011
This paper uses data from the National Pupil Database to investigate the differences in "performance" across the range of science courses available following the 2006 Key Stage 4 (KS4) science reforms in England. This is a value-added exploration (from Key Stage 3 [KS3] to KS4) aimed not at the student or the school level, but rather at…
