Difference-in-differences is a research design analysts can use to estimate causal effects of these “natural experiments.” This article introduces education researchers to the difference-in-differences approach. We provide an overview of the standard two-by-two design, which examines changes in outcomes over time between a treated and an unaffected group. Then, we discuss the key assumptions and threats to validity that researchers must address to have maximum confidence in their results. We also discuss commonly used alternative specifications that provide researchers with a more nuanced approach to estimating policy effects. Throughout the paper, we illustrate the difference-in-differences approach using the example of the implementation of an after-school tutoring program to increase economically disadvantaged students’ academic performance.

In the hierarchical model of motivation, mastery goal for overall course subject learning has been positioned at the contextual level, while autonomous motivation and motivation instability during a specific class session were positioned at the situational level. A longitudinal online survey of university students in five asynchronous online classes at a Japanese university was conducted at three time points in one semester. A total of 218 university students participated in the study. A cross-lagged panel model was constructed and analyzed by structural equation modeling. The results showed that the mastery goal at Time 1 was positively associated with autonomous motivation at Time 2. In addition, the mastery goal at Time 2 was positively associated with autonomous motivation at Time 3 and negatively associated with motivation instability at Time 3. These results indicate a top-down effect of mastery goal at the contextual level on situational motivation, which is located lower in the hierarchical model. Furthermore, autonomous motivation at Time 2 was positively associated with the mastery goal at Time 3. This indicates a bottom-up effect, in which contextual motivation, which is located higher in the hierarchical model, can be altered by situational motivation in the classroom.

Based on the survey of 1256 college graduates between January and March 2021, this study analyses the impact of family background on the choice of studying abroad under the background of the epidemic. The research shows that the inequality in transnational education participation has been intensified by the pandemic. Findings of mediation analysis suggested that family background has powerful influences on students’ willingness to continue with their overseas study plan after the pandemic.

To fill this gap in the literature, the study investigated the effects of argumentation-based instructional practices on student achievement. It also aimed to reveal the factors affecting these practices by combining the quantitative and qualitative research findings. Therefore, a mixed-research synthesis was employed to achieve this purpose. The study included 72 quantitative and 22 qualitative studies. The data obtained from the quantitative studies were combined using a meta-analysis method, and the qualitative data were combined using a thematic synthesis method. Several analytical themes were created regarding the factors affecting argumentation-based instruction, and various analytic themes (recommendations/hypotheses) were developed accordingly. According to the data from the thematic synthesis, 13 analytical themes emerged. The meta-analytic results indicated that the argumentation method had a large positive effect on student achievement (<i>g</i> = 0.927, 95% CI [0.789, 1.064]). Also, the moderator analysis revealed that argumentation-based instruction highly affected student achievement in Chemistry and Mathematics than others. Also, the time allocated to courses was influential in increasing student achievement. Lastly, attempts were made to explain the variance between studies included in the meta-analysis using the analytical themes developed in the thematic synthesis. The thematic synthesis results indicated that the learning outcomes and the environment should be taken into consideration in argumentation-based instruction and that some deficiencies should be resolved.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47344,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Education Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s12564-024-09945-6.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140098891","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A total of 47 studies from 2000 to 2022 that investigated self-regulation or sense of presence in the context of online learning were analyzed. Average effect sizes were used to compare the influence of self-regulation and sense of presence on the levels of satisfaction with online learning. The moderating effects of self-regulation and sense of presence were also analyzed and compared. The results indicate that the average effect sizes of self-regulation and sense of presence were significant. Regarding the relationship between sense of presence and satisfaction with online learning, the type of sense of presence had no moderating effect. In addition, the average effect size of sense of presence was slightly greater than that of self-regulation.
