Research Projects:

Instruction, Resources and Learning Outcomes (SSHRC funded). This research examines classroom practices that are associated with higher learning outcomes separately in schools with high levels of resources and those with low levels of resources. This research examines instructional practices that are most effective for learning in low and high SES contexts and examines the degree to which achievement test scores are indications of school quality and teaching.

Construct comparability and multi-lingual assessments (SSHRC funded). This research examines methodological and substantive issues in construct comparability research in general and in multi-lingual assessments in particular. The focus has been on bilingual assessments in Canada and international assessments such as TIMSS and PISA. The methodological aspects of this research focused on identifying sources of differential item functioning.

Gender Differences in Mathematics from an International Perspective (OECD funded). This research examines trends in and factors associated with gender differences in mathematics using data from over 30 different countries.
