Explaining urban–rural differences in educational achievement in Thailand: Evidence from PISA literacy data

“…Woessmann ( 2005) also found such strong effects in Singapore, Hong Kong and Thailand. On school characteristics, Harbison and Hanushek (1992), Heneveld and Craig (1996) and White (2004) are examples of studies that highlighted the role of tangible assets. They conclude that minimum basic school facilities are critical to improving achievement outcomes of students in developing countries.…”

Intraclass Correlation Coefficients for Designing Cluster-Randomized Trials in Sub-Saharan Africa Education

“…There is a growing international recognition of the lack of reliable evidence concerning the effectiveness of educational policies and programs on valued outcomes, and this has given rise to widespread support for research that draws on rigorous designs (Heneveld & Craig, 1996; Kanjee & Bhola, 2014; Lee, Zuze, & Ross, 2005; Sayed, Kanjee, & Nkomo, 2013; Spybrook & Raudenbush, 2009). This support has cultivated a new wave of research in education in sub-Saharan Africa (and across most of the world) that focuses on impact evaluation through experimental design (Boruch, De Moya, & Snyder, 2002; Mosteller & Boruch, 2002; Snilstveit et al, 2014; Spybrook & Raudenbush, 2009).…”

STEM Teacher Education and Professional Development and Training: Challenges and Trends

“…More importantly, educator's efforts should be geared towards meaningful teaching and learning through practical illustrations and applications (DeJarnette, 2012; Sublette, 2013). The most common elements of effective teaching have been excerpted from (Heneveld & Craig, 1996) which deals specifically with applying factors of school effectiveness and improvement to educational project design. Twenty First Century Science courses developed at the University of York focus of courses for 14-to 16-year-olds is of students as 'consumers not producers of science' (Millar, 2006).…”
