Journal of Education for Teaching, 45(5), 567-584. https://doi.org/10.1080/02607476.2019.1674563Much 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

Educational Researcher, 48(6), 382-384. https://doi.org/10.3102/0013189x19855076A 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?

International Journal of Research in Undergraduate Mathematics Education, 5(2), 147-162. https://doi.org/10.1007/s40753-019-00086-5Existing 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...
