A place to draft grant proposals in the open

This paper was reviewed, accepted, and discussed at the 2015 European Association for Research and Learning in Instruction conference, Cyprus. It raises issues as to what doctoral education for advanced research methods should look like.

This document provides an overview of the New Methods for New Methods Doctoral Education Project

This is an unfunded grant application to the Volkswagen Stiftung in 2015. It suggests ways that research could be conducted to establish consensus around what needs to be done to prepare new researchers for research beyond doctoral degree.

This published study, drawing on the 2007 technical report, shows that there is great disparity among research supervisors in education as to what research methods can be taught. However, there is strong agreement as to the teachability of those components relative to the competencies successful students require. This version is the author's submitted...

A presentation that I delivered at COMBINE 2016, mostly on behalf of Koray and Geoff.In computational physiology, standards to express mathematical and anatomically based geometric models rely heavily on the XML suite of standards and the Semantic Web. The Physiome Model Repository (PMR) provides an infrastructure to manage models and personal workspaces...

Presentation to Behavioural Measurement Group, University of Umea, Sweden. September, 2016

This is an unfunded grant application submitted to the Spencer Foundation in 2016. It recommends using an international digital Delphi Study to generate consensus around what should be taught in quantitative research methods and how it should be taught.

One of the academic understandings that formed the basis of the merger of the Auckland College of Education and The University of Auckland, School of Education to form the Faculty of Education was that evidence-based research would inform faculty teaching. For three years prior to the merger, the School of Education and Auckland College of Education had...

This document summarises in bullet point form interview conducted in summer 2015 with various German academics concerning the methodological needs of doctoral students in education.

Introductory lecture on Item Response Theory given to Behavioural Measurement Group, University of Umea, Sweden in September 2016

Seminar to the Behavior Measurement group in the Applied Educational Sciences Dept, University of Umea. Covers basic principles of exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis with an eye to validating the content structure of a test.

This was presented in August 2016 to the EARLI SIG 1 Assessment and Evaluation Summer School in Munich. It provides an introduction to CFA and SEM techniques. It presumes understanding of exploratory factor analysis and multivariate statistical techniques. It extends basic CFA into SEM and multigroup invariance testing. It illustrates procedures and...
