Babette Moeller; Teresa Duncan; Jason Schoeneberger; John Hitchcock; Matt McLeod – Grantee Submission, 2024
This study examines how a mathematics professional learning (PL) program can contribute to building the capacity of local facilitators to implement PL designed to make high-quality instruction accessible to all students. Thirty-one local facilitators were trained in the use of the Math for All PL program and implemented it over one school year.…

Lorenzetti, Nicole L.; Harnett, Susanne DeFalco – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2020
Fidelity of implementation (FOI) refers to the level of adherence that a project keeps to its design. The evaluation of this project, a school-based arts implementation project, used a "fidelity to structure" design to determine how well the schools in the project followed the project design in the fourth and fifth years of the project…

An, Xiaozhu; Schonberg, Christina; Bashkov, Bozhidar M – Online Submission, 2022
Program exposure is a key element of implementation fidelity and refers to the amount of an intervention received by participants. For students using IXL, setting a target program exposure (i.e., an IXL usage goal) both allows monitoring of implementation fidelity and enhances students' motivational and learning outcomes. IXL's proposed optimal…

Li, Linlin; Flynn, Kylie; Ringstaff, Cathy; Tripathy, Rachel; Lepori, Kathleen; Wang, Jennifer – Grantee Submission, 2016
This study evaluated the efficacy of the Word Learning Strategies (WLS) supplementary program designed to develop upper-elementary students' vocabulary skills in order to improve reading comprehension. The study used a true, group-randomized, experimental design, which randomly assigned 46 4th grade classrooms (n=1324 students) from 12 districts…

Cassidy, Michael; Stroud, Rena; Stylianou, Despina; Blanton, Maria; Gardiner, Angela; Knuth, Eric; Stephens, Ana – Grantee Submission, 2017
Through a theoretical framework emphasizing the importance of fidelity of implementation (FOI), this paper explores how 3rd and 4th grade teachers implemented an early algebra intervention, and the extent to which the FOI related to student learning. The data for this report are taken from the first two years of an experimental research project.…

Troyer, Margaret – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2017
This study documents the process of implementation of an adolescent reading intervention. Using data from observations of teachers (n=17) during the 2013-14 school year, I conducted a nuanced descriptive analysis of fidelity of implementation (FoI). I also analyzed weekly logs completed by literacy coaches (n=3) to examine variation in quantity…

Tedra F. Clark; Joshua Stewart – Grantee Submission, 2017
Middle school serves as a key milestone for pre-algebra mastery, enabling students to be successful in high school algebra. Yet, at the point when students should be transitioning from learning arithmetic to learning mathematics, many are unprepared in fundamental mathematics concepts that strongly predict algebra achievement. Because mastering…

Sebele, Ntlantla – Bulgarian Comparative Education Society, 2015
Public policy implementation is frequently regarded as problematic globally and reasons for these vary. In particular, the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) sector has been criticized for lack of delivery and most of the criticism is directed towards the non-implementation of government policy. In South Africa managers of TVET…

Tang, Shifang; Guerrero, Cindy Lynn; Lopez, Tamara; Tong, Fuhui; Irby, Beverly J. – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2017
Using a low inference observation instrument, we investigated the effect of an ongoing, intensive, and structured virtual professional development [VPD] on fidelity of implementation across conditions in a randomized control trial validation study implemented in seven Texas school districts. The observations were collected three time in the…

Hauk, Shandy; Salguero, Katie; Kaser, Joyce – Grantee Submission, 2016
A web-based activity and testing system (WATS) has features such as adaptive problem sets, videos, and data-driven tools for instructors to monitor and scaffold student learning. Central to WATS adoption and use are questions about the implementation process: What constitutes "good" implementation and how far from "good" is…

Rubin, Allen – Research on Social Work Practice, 2015
This keynote address discusses previous and ongoing efforts to reduce the persistent gap between research and practice in social work and offers recommendations for further bridging that gap. Key among those recommendations is the need to conduct descriptive outcome studies of efforts to adapt research-supported interventions in everyday practice…

Feng, Mingyu; Roschelle, Jeremy; Murphy, Robert; Heffernan, Neil – Grantee Submission, 2014
The field of learning analytics is rapidly developing techniques for using data captured during online learning. In this article, we develop an additional application: the use of analytics for improving implementation fidelity in a randomized controlled efficacy trial. In an efficacy trial, the goal is to determine whether an innovation has a…

Zacamy, Jenna; Newman, Denis; Lin, Li; Jaciw, Andrew P. – Empirical Education Inc., 2015
In October 2010, WestEd's Strategic Literacy Initiative (SLI) won an i3 "Validation" grant to scale up and validate the Reading Apprenticeship (RA) model in three core secondary content area classes: U.S. history, biology, and English language arts. SLI's proposal stated two goals. Goal 1: To transform academic literacy teaching and…
