There is often a bias where studies that show a strong effect, or studies that show a positive effect in a direction that’s expected or desired, are more likely to be published than studies that find no difference, or what’s called a ‘null effect.’ This might be what happened with growth mindset studies.
Of the 112 properly evaluated grants, the most common result was a null finding, meaning that the intervention didn’t make a difference. There are two reasons that a study can end with a null result. Only a small handful left students worse off. One is because the intervention didn’t work, but it can also be a methodological quirk.
But even with potential room for error minimized in the simulation, the overwhelming outcome of the simulations were also null. They ran the study again and again, tried sample sizes from 100 to 5,000, and varied the size of the group with access. So where does that leave us?
The estimated null effect is consistent with survey evidence showing no change in homework time or other "intermediate" inputs in education. Although computer ownership and use increased substantially, we find no effects on any educational outcomes, including grades, test scores, credits earned, attendance and disciplinary actions.
Most studies ended up producing “null” results and she said that means “we’re not doing worse than business as usual. Only one of the 67 programs produced negative results, meaning that kids in the intervention ended up worse off than learning as usual.
The ubiquitous use of null hypothesis significance testing in educational research is an epistemic dead end. In particular, we will be focusing on three key ideas: Why ‘What Works’ Doesn't: Education research needs to move beyond simply evaluating whether or not an effect exists; that is, whether an educational intervention ‘works’.
And at times when the entity is bought and sold by other companies, the legal agreements initially put in place to restrict the uses of the data can be null and void. With commercial data collection, there are often few restrictions on how the data can be used and shared.
And some middle schools don’t offer Algebra 1, nulling the computer activity incentive. It’s also true that many students in the state don’t have access to enter the program either because their school cannot fund to send students. Bourdukofsky claims some students have returned to their schools to demand the course.).
Answering that question through null hypothesis significance testing (NHST), which explores whether an intervention or product has an effect on the average outcome, undermines the ability to make sustained progress in helping students learn. Null hypothesis significance testing is an epistemic dead end.
I have a jaundiced view of ed tech, based on the sheer number of studies that have shown null or very tiny results for students. Before schools closed, Bhatt said that midyear math grades were again higher among a second cohort of ninth grade students who had the extra math block.
PlankChallenge – (Null). @mshuff_hpe #plankchallenge #tik_tok_fun #fun #fitness #teacherlife #healthed #physed #fyp #foryoupage #foryou #heathuff Collab next time?! ms.cartainope ? And in the midst of a pandemic that has upended nearly every aspect of education, some standards may simply need to be set aside for a bit, instructors say.
In scientific speak, it was a “null” effect. Even after adjusting for family income and other student characteristics, the students in the Teach to One classrooms didn’t improve more than students taught in the traditional way. Teach to One did neither harm nor good.
Statistically, it was a null result. The results were less sanguine in another study that looked at pairing volunteer college students with low-income middle schoolers in the Chicago area. The students who received online tutoring in the spring of 2021 didn’t do much better in reading or math than students who didn’t get the tutoring.
In this sense, the frequency of null effects is expected. Assuming an OER textbook is no different in quality, then there are no meaningful differences to explain effects on learning outcomes. License and cost certainly should not affect learning at a cognitive level.
Your rights as an American citizen are null and void when you hit that "yes I agree with these rules" button. Make a family plan for what that looks like regarding internet usage with your family. A family contract isn't a bad idea. Many apps of choice for teens are based out of foreign countries. Keep that in mind.
It made the argument about our missing voices almost null and void because.how can we diversify contributions when people aren’t sharing? When I started to look for Edtech blogs written by techs of color, it was alarming to learn how many weren’t writing and sharing our work. There were some, but not many.
The joy that I feel even writing that statement knowing that they too are now out sharing their work and worth makes any of my former negative thoughts null and void. …empowering them that they too could do the same. Except for the part where I allowed myself to be tokenized.

In vaccinating the national education workforce, Biden is rendering null one of the biggest hesitations that educators cite for reopening school buildings. “Not every educator will be able to get their appointment in the first week. But our goal is to do everything we can to help every educator receive a shot this month.”
This recent review of research on magnet schools shows both positive and null results on academic performance, although most studies support higher graduation rates at magnet schools. [DeVos spoke recently at the Magnet Schools of America conference, where she highlighted the role of magnet schools in reducing segregation.
And so it seemed crucial that an institution like the UnderAcademy College would fulfill its role in the universe and in academia by preparing 21st century jour-null-ists for the activity of producing this kind of fake news in as professional a way as possible, and then of course helping them to know how to read it properly as well.
