Let our team of research professionals assist your organization with its research, evaluation and test and survey development needs.
AES is oriented toward quantitative methods of data analysis ranging from rigorous randomized-control trial designs for hypothesis testing to more exploratory research approaches to program evaluation.
We specialize in research design and psychometrics (the validation of tests) for government, non-governmental, education or private organizations whose projects must meet specific requirements for reporting of project milestones and results. Research questions, test instruments and results are identified. We use innovative methods of gathering data on-line as well as by traditional means.
We apply professional standards to our work such as the AEA's Guiding Principles for Evaluators and the AERA's Code of Fair Testing Practices in Education.
Typical services:
- Consult with project leadership and stakeholders on the scope and method of a proposed research project, test design, or program evaluation.
- Identify measurable outcomes that answer research questions.
- Perform power analysis so that resources for sample size are used optimally.
- Design and implement a data collection procedure.
- Manage the test development process.
- Perform test validation.
- Conduct site-based meetings or workshops.
- Assist in writing proposals, interim and final reports, articles, press releases, and other dissemination materials.
