520 |a The purposes of this paper are to: (1) describe some of the serious shortcomings in the current use of tests of statistical significance, (2) discuss how misuses are perpetuated in some widely used references, and (3) present an alternative significance testing model that overcomes some, but not all, of the shortcomings of the currently used method. For the purposes of this paper, the discussion is restricted to fixed effects analysis of variance (ANOVA) (including t-tests), which is perhaps the most pervasive of the data analyses used by educational researchers.
