Satoe Okabayashi; Kyoko Kitazawa; Hisashi Noma; Yoshimitsu Takahashi; Taku Iwami; Takashi Kawamura; Takeo Nakayama – Health Education Research, 2024
Evidence-based medicine (EBM) is helpful for laypersons' decision-making. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of e-learning materials on the essential components of EBM for laypersons. We conducted a web-based, open-label, randomized controlled trial with laypersons in Japan aged [greater than or equal to]20 years who used the internet.…

Mark A. Elliott; Allan McGroarty; David J. Robertson – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2024
Background: A volitional help sheet (VHS) is an intervention for promoting implementation intentions. This study was the first to test the effectiveness of a VHS for increasing university students' lecture attendance. Aims: To develop a VHS to increase university students' lecture attendance and test its effectiveness at increasing the proportion…

Koh, Zong Jie; Yeow, Marcus; Srinivasan, Dinesh Kumar; Ng, Yee Kong; Ponnamperuma, Gominda G.; Chong, Choon Seng – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2023
Anatomy is an important component in the vertical integration of basic science and clinical practice. Two common pedagogies are cadaveric dissection and examination of prosected specimens. Comparative studies mostly evaluate their immediate effectiveness. A randomized controlled trial design was employed to compare both the immediate and long-term…

Utkarsh Upadhyay; Graham Lancashire; Christoph Moser; Manuel Gomez-Rodriguez – npj Science of Learning, 2021
We perform a large-scale randomized controlled trial to evaluate the potential of machine learning-based instruction sequencing to improve memorization while allowing the learners the freedom to choose their review times. After controlling for the length and frequency of study, we find that learners for whom a machine learning algorithm determines…

Reese, Elaine; Barrett-Young, Ashleigh; Gilkison, Laura; Carroll, Jane; Das, Shika; Riordan, Jessica; Schaughency, Elizabeth – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2023
Tender Shoots is a randomized controlled trial (RCT) for parents aimed at improving preschool children's oral language skills relevant for later reading. Parents of 72 preschool children (M = 50 months) were randomly assigned to either a Rich Reading and Reminiscing (RRR) condition, a Strengthening Sound Sensitivity (SSS) condition, or an…

Muise, Joanna; Oliver, Emily; Newell, Penny; Forsyth, Mark – Health Education Journal, 2019
Objective: To build the evidence base for first aid education by testing the hypothesis that learners will be more confident and willing to act in an emergency if their first aid education has attempted to break down perceived barriers to helping. Design: Additional activities were appended to and delivered alongside a control curriculum…

Lortie-Forgues, Hugues; Inglis, Matthew – Educational Researcher, 2019
There are a growing number of large-scale educational randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Considering their expense, it is important to reflect on the effectiveness of this approach. We assessed the magnitude and precision of effects found in those large-scale RCTs commissioned by the UK-based Education Endowment Foundation and the U.S.-based…

Naveenkumar, Nithya; Georgiou, George K.; Vieira, Ana Paula Alves; Romero, Sandra; Parrila, Rauno – Reading & Writing Quarterly, 2022
Although several studies have examined the effectiveness of reading fluency interventions, the methodological rigor of these studies remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to examine the quality of randomized controlled trial (RCT) reading fluency intervention studies using the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC) standards. Twenty-six…

Holopainen, Annaleena; de Veld, Daniëlle M. J.; Hoddenbach, Elske; Begeer, Sander – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
Youth with ASD often show limited or atypical empathic responsiveness. The direct effects of social skills interventions on enhancing empathic responsiveness is unknown. Data from a randomized controlled trial were used to investigate whether a Theory of Mind training improves the empathic responsiveness, measured through structured observations.…

Joyce, Kathryn E. – Educational Research and Evaluation, 2019
Within evidence-based education, results from randomised controlled trials (RCTs), and meta-analyses of them, are taken as reliable evidence for effectiveness -- they speak to "what works". Extending RCT results requires establishing that study samples and settings are representative of the intended target. Although widely recognised as…

Prediger, Susanne; Erath, Kirstin; Weinert, Henrike; Quabeck, Kim – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 2022
Empirical evidence exists that enhancing students' language can promote the mathematics learning of multilingual students at risk, whereas other target groups (e.g., monolingual students, successful students, both with diverse academic language proficiency) have hardly been considered. This cluster-randomized controlled trial (N = 589)…

Loredana Buchan; Momna Hejmadi; Liam Abrahams; Laurence D. Hurst – npj Science of Learning, 2020
Current educational discourse holds that effective pedagogy requires engagement through active student participation with subject matter relating to them. The lack of testing of lessons in series is recognized as a potential weakness in the evidence base, not least because standard parallel designs cannot capture serial interaction effects (cf.…

Roberts-Tyler, Emily J.; Hughes, John Carl; Hastings, Richard P. – Journal of Research in Special Educational Needs, 2020
Increasing evidence indicates that individuals with Intellectual Disabilities (ID) might benefit from phonics-based reading instruction. However, research and instruction in this field has predominantly focused on sight word reading. Models for complex interventions recommend that feasibility research be conducted prior to conducting randomised…

Keshani, Parisa; Hossein Kaveh, Mohammad; Faghih, Shiva; Salehi, Moosa – Health Education Research, 2019
This study aimed to assess the impact of educational intervention, based on health belief model (HBM) and collaborative learning techniques on diet quality in adolescents. In this field trial study, 311 students aged 13-15 years old were included, of which 163 and 148 allocated in the experimental and comparison groups, respectively. They were…

Rohrer, Doug; Dedrick, Robert F.; Hartwig, Marissa K.; Cheung, Chi-Ngai – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2020
We report the results of a preregistered, cluster randomized controlled trial of a mathematics learning intervention known as interleaved practice. Whereas most mathematics assignments consist of a block of problems devoted to the same skill or concept, an interleaved assignment is arranged so that no 2 consecutive problems require the same…
