LPO 3910<br />Modeling Context Effects in Educational Organizations
Page Text
<i>Description:</i><br /> This seminar explores the methodological challenges and substantive implications of studying schools as complex organizations. Substantively, this course covers the literature on school effects, moving from early input-output studies to current research that examines the organizational context of schools, particularly the impact of within and between school stratification on student outcomes. Methodologically, this course provides an introduction to hierarchical linear modeling, including the conceptual background of hierarchical models, preparing data sets for use with HLM software, using the HLM software, strategies for analysis of data, applications of two- and three-level models, interpreting HLM output, and presenting results.
