4635 — A Methodology for Analyzing the Association Between Student Performance and Indoor Air Quality

Click here to purchase

Past research that has evaluated the association between student performance and some change variable (building renovation, room temperature, curriculum, teacher involvement, etc.) has focused on student-level data and has not adequately accounted for regression artifacts (regression to the mean). The methodology presented in this paper provides guidance for the analysis of school-level student performance results through the use of the Smirnov test (randomness), Lilleifors test (normality), Daniel’s test (cohort trends), and chi-squared test (renovated to non-renovated differences). Recommendations are provided for setting up future research to avoid problems and obtain better results.
