Designing and Analyzing Studies to Detect Moderation and Mediation
This session provides practical training in the concepts and application of moderation and mediation within the context of STEM education.
This session provides applied training in the principles and practice of designing and analyzing studies to address questions of moderation and mediation. Presenters outline the motivation and critical value of complementing “what works”-type questions with explanatory investigations that address for whom a program works, under what conditions it works, and how it works for different groups. A practical outline of the concepts of moderation and mediation is presented through several STEM case studies.
