Developing Pre-service Teachers’ Professional Vision with Video Interventions: A Divergent Replication (2019)
Journal Article
Simpson, A., & Vondrová, N. (2019). Developing Pre-service Teachers’ Professional Vision with Video Interventions: A Divergent Replication. Journal of Education for Teaching, 45(5), 567-584. https://doi.org/10.1080/02607476.2019.1674563

Much research on teachers’ professional vision examines development through video interventions. Evidence suggests they change focus towards specifics, subject matter and students and away from the evaluation. This study was designed to examine wheth...

Whose Prior is it Anyway? A Note on 'Rigorous Large-Scale Educational RCTs are Often Uninformative' (2019)
Journal Article

A recent paper uses Bayes factors to argue a large minority of rigorous, large-scale education RCTs are ‘uninformative’. The definition of ‘uninformative’ depends on the authors’ hypothesis choices for calculating Bayes factors. These arguably over-a... Read More about Whose Prior is it Anyway?

Separating arguments from conclusions: The mistaken role of effect size in educational policy research (2019)
Journal Article

Effect size is the basis of much evidence-based education policymaking. In particular, it is assumed to measure the educational effectiveness of interventions. Policy is being driven by the influential work of John Hattie, the Education Endowment Fou...

The relation between mathematics students' discipline-based epistemological beliefs and their summative assessment preferences (2019)
Journal Article
Simpson, A. (2019). The relation between mathematics students' discipline-based epistemological beliefs and their summative assessment preferences. International Journal of Research in Undergraduate Mathematics Education, 5(2), 147-162. https://doi.org/10.1007/s40753-019-00086-5

Existing research posits a relationship between undergraduate mathematics students’ mathematics-related epistemological beliefs and their perceptions of summative assessment. This paper reports a study investigating whether there is indeed such a rel...
