Missing data and bias in physics education research: A case for using multiple imputation

Jayson Nissen, Robin Donatello, Ben Van Dusen

Physics education researchers (PER) commonly use complete-case analysis to address missing data. For complete-case analysis, researchers discard all data from any student who is mi…

Modernizing use of regression models in physics education research: a review of hierarchical linear modeling

Ben Van Dusen, Jayson Nissen

Physics education researchers (PER) often analyze student data with single-level regression models (e.g., linear and logistic regression). However, education datasets can have hier…

Equity in College Physics Student Learning: a Critical Quantitative Intersectionality Investigation

Ben Van Dusen, Jayson Nissen

We investigated the intersectional nature of race/racism and gender/sexism in broad scale inequities in physics student learning using a critical quantitative intersectionality. To…
