... There is evidence that education which is carried out via both online and face-to-face instruction causes higher student performance compared to education with face-to-face instruction only. For example, Scholastic READ 180 program which was implemented in Department of Defense Education Activity Schools through both face-to-face and online instruction was found to be more effective in increasing students' success in reading compared to similar literary intervention programs (Loadman, Moore, Ren, Zhu, Zhao and Lomax 2011). Diversity in CBE is not limited to these. ...

... Kalite standartları ile ilgili yapılan araştırmalar incelendiğinde, akreditasyon standartları ile mezun yeterlikleri arasındaki ilişki (Adams, 2000), kalitenin iş tatmini üzerine etkisi (Rahman, 2000), yükseköğretimde kalite etkinliklerinin değerlendirilmesi (Mortensen, 2000), kalite geliştirme çalışmasının öğrenci başarısı üzerine etkisi (Ronald, 2000), toplam kalite yönetimi ve eğitim arasındaki ilişkilerin incelenmesi (Eroğlu, 1996;Çetiner, 1996;Yurter, 1999;Yalabık, 1999;Ertürk, 1998;Binici, 1999;Baykara, 1999) ve öğretmen yetiştirme programlarının çok kaynaklı değerlendirilmesi çalışmalarına rastlanmaktadır (Vaughn, Everhart, Sharpe ve Schimmel, 2000;Arslan, 2000;Lawless, Smith, Kulikowich ve Owen, 2001). Öğretmen yetiştirmede teknolojinin yeri de çağımızın gereği olan bir unsurdur ve araştırmalarda son yıllarda en çok karşılaşılan çalışmalar arasındadır (Duhaney, 2001;Betrus, 2000;Brennan, 2000;Cuckle ve Jenkins, 2000;Duran, 2000). ...

... Response patterns provide test designers and examiners feedback on whether the test has achieved its purpose, measuring students' ability or otherwise. According to Chen (2005), a response pattern is used to provide detailed information about an examinee's performance in a test and determine the help the examinee received during the test and whether the total test score adequately measures the examinee's ability level. ...

... Miller, 2001, p. 116). A study that surveyed more than 1,000 school staff and university faculty whose organizations took part in the Holmes Group's partnership initiative revealed a number of marked differences in how school and university members organize their time, position their professional focus, and experience personal power (Brookhart & Loadman, 1990). Using broader terms, this study points us to the differences in the organizational structures, discourse practices, and power relations of schools and universities. ...

... For example, the studies on command/ managed economies of Asia that did not adopt the neoliberal-hands-off approach to development (laissez-faire) are not presented as triple helix studies (Pedersen & McCormick, 1999;Whitley, 1991;Whitley, 1992). Command and managed economies applied what Ranga and Etzkowitz (2015) called a statist model of the triple helix where the state dominates the relationship amongst the three actors by encouraging and supporting intensive collaboration between government agencies, industries, and universities in order to achieve economic and social goals (Brookhart & Loadman, 1992;Fujigaki & Nagata, 1998;Lee et al., 2022;O'leary & Vij, 2012;Witt & Redding, 2013). The universities played significant role in providing the human capital needed for specific industries that the state earmarked for its development programs (Tilak, 2001). ...

... However, other research has shown that diversity can also introduce challenges. A study reported that beginning teachers in schools with high levels of racial/ethnic diversity often experience lower job satisfaction and greater difficulties in establishing meaningful relationships with students [30]. This suggests that, without sufficient support or preparation, teachers may find it more challenging to adapt to diverse classrooms. ...

... Although evaluating in-service training programs can shed light on their weaknesses and strengths, those evaluations together with long term assessments of their effects have rarely been conducted, and confronts many limitations such as the use of survey evaluations which is thought to be nonresponsive and lacks data dimensionality on one hand, whereas, on the other hand it is quiet challenging to assess the effectiveness of those programs' activities, as a consequence, evaluations of in-service teacher training programs may fall short of the rhetoric.

... However, the impact of directive leadership on teachers' performance was contingent in nature, whereas the positive effect of participative leadership on teachers' performance was across and above the specific studied conditions. These results join accord with the recent educational reform movement toward more democratic schools (e.g., Boyle, Boyle, & Brown, 1999; Klecker & Loadman, 1998;Wall & Rinehart, 1998). Participative leadership in schools has been widely promoted as a means of formalizing this new conceptualization of leadership to bring about school improvement (Klecker & Loadman, 1998). ...

... Regardless of the numerous recommendations provided in the literature, no treatment method has been shown empirically to be consistently successful in managing infant colic. Loadman, Arnold, Volmer, Petrella, and Cooper (1987) suggested that continuous vibration provided by an electromechanical device (SleepTight) may be an effective method for reducing infants' crying. They reported that, subsequent to the introduction of SleepTight, colic severity was significantly reduced in 97% ofthe cases examined. ...

... The regression did not control for pre-psychological well-being, so it is hard to be confident about the results. 1* A survey of 10,544 classroom teachers from 307 schools in the US found a positive relationship between teachers' perception of the level of leadership empowerment and their self-report levels of job satisfaction (Klecker & Loadman, 1996). The response rate to the survey was 39% thus reducing the trustworthiness of the finding. ...
