TLDR
The statistical techniques used in American Educational Research Journal (AERJ) research articles between 1979 and 1983 were coded by (a) type of technique, and (b) major or minor importance for comprehending the research findings.
Abstract
The statistical techniques used in American Educational Research Journal (AERJ) research articles between 1979 and 1983 were coded by (a) type of technique, and (b) "major" or "minor" importance for comprehending the research findings. Twenty-seven types of technique were identified and further classified as "basic," "intermediate," or "advanced" level, in terms of typical statistics course progression. Of the "major" techniques, 33%, 37%, and 17% were basic, intermediate, and advanced level,, respectively. A review of statistics texts currently in use revert led that basic texts predominate and that the content coverage in both the basic-and intermediate-level texts generally matched well the techniques found in the AERJ articles. The findings suggest that students with both a basic-and intermediate-level knowledge of statistics would understand most of the techniques encountered in AERJ. Other topics addressed included an examination of trends in use of statistical techniques over time, and a comparison...

The dependability of behavioral measurements: theory of generalizability for scores and profiles

Eva Nick
TL;DR: The dependability of behavioral measurements: theory of generalizability for scores and profiles is studied to establish whether these measurements can be trusted to be reliable in the real world.

Defining and measuring servant leadership behaviour in organizations

TL;DR: In this article, the development and initial validation of a multidimensional measure of servant leadership behavior (Servant Leadership Behaviour Scale) was examined. But the authors did not consider the effect of the scale on the overall servant leadership model, which is characterized by its service orientation, holistic outlook, and moral-spiritual emphasis.

Statistical Practices of Educational Researchers: An Analysis of their ANOVA, MANOVA, and ANCOVA Analyses:

TL;DR: This article examined the use of data analysis tools by researchers in four research paradigms: between-subjects univariate, multivariate, repeated measures, and covariance designs, concluding that researchers rarely verify that validity assumptions are satisfied and that, accordingly, they typically use analyses that are nonrobust to assumption violations.

Type I Error Rate Comparisons of Post Hoc Procedures for I j Chi-Square Tables

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used Monte Carlo methods to assess the per-contrast and experimentwise Type I error rates of two post hoc tests of cellwise residuals and four post hoc test of pairwise contrasts in 3 4 chi-square contingency tables.

Research Techniques in AERJ Articles: 1969 to 1978

TL;DR: The distinction between scientific methods and techniques was made by Glass as mentioned in this paper, who argued that methods are cross-disciplinary principles such as replication, generalization, and causation whereas techniques are discipline-specific procedures for the conduct of research.
