ABSTRACT

This review of a journal article in Educational Research demonstrates that the reported research contains a number of crucial shortcomings in both overall research designs and specific research procedures which are deemed to threat the validity and reliability of the widely-recognized international journal. Specifically in the research methods, the authors of the journal article are considered to fall short of the tenable foundations for their mixed-method research in a few key issues; selecting equitable predictor and criterion variables, overcoming false positives in identifying experimental target schools, taking the essential steps for probability sampling, and avoiding biased approaches to semi-structured interviews. As a result, it seems to be increasingly clear that the consumers of any journal article should be wary of its possible defects and misconceptions in assessing the overall generalizability of research findings.
