THEORETIC APPROACHES TO MULTILINGUAL EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM DESIGN IN LUXEMBOURG

Educational approaches to social-emotional learning in schools

The School-based interventions seek to identify and administrate the affecting changes on important factors of classroom processes that predict student’s academic and social-emotional development. One of the affecting factors contributing to the improvement of the classroom quality and interactions is social-emotional learning. Social-emotional learning processes for integrating of thought, fee...

Decision Theoretic Approaches to Experiment Design and External Validity∗

A modern, decision-theoretic framework can help clarify important practical questions of experimental design. Building on our recent work, this chapter begins by summarizing our framework for understanding the goals of experimenters, and applying this to re-randomization. We then use this framework to shed light on questions related to experimental registries, pre-analysis plans, and most impor...
