van Dijk, Wilhelmina; Huggins-Manley, A. Corinne; Gage, Nicholas A.; Lane, Holly B.; Coyne, Michael – Assessment for Effective Intervention, 2022
In reading intervention research, implementation fidelity is assumed to be positively related to student outcomes, but the methods used to measure fidelity are often treated as an afterthought. Fidelity has been conceptualized and measured in many different ways, suggesting a lack of construct validity. One aspect of construct validity is the…

Frazier, Thomas W.; Khaliq, Izma; Scullin, Keeley; Uljarevic, Mirko; Shih, Andy; Karpur, Arun – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
At present, there are no brief, freely-available, informant-report measures that evaluate key challenging behaviors relevant to youth with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or other developmental disabilities (DD). This paper describes the development, refinement, and initial psychometric evaluation of a new 18-item measure, the Open-Source…

McQuillin, Samuel D.; Lyons, Michael D.; Clayton, Rebecca J.; Anderson, Jacqueline R. – Applied Developmental Science, 2020
Like many youth development programs, most youth mentoring programs do not have prescribed practices that target specific outcomes. Because the construct of mentoring represents a broad range of potential activities, researchers face a conundrum when making generalizable causal inferences about the effects of this and similar services. On the one…

Nolan, Rachael D.; Hallam, Jeffrey S. – American Journal of Health Education, 2019
Background: Many grief-based Health Education programs have not been theoretically examined to show how and why beneficial effects have been reported with their use and implementation. Purpose: We used a construct validity of the treatment approach to test the implicit theoretical structure of the theory of grief recovery (TOGR) and evaluate the…

Raven, John – Psychology of Education Review, 2020
The need to find ways of ameliorating a number of what seemed to be gross abuses of 'science', logic, and authority in relation to educational policy emerged as a priority whilst revisiting writings on early childhood and elementary education. In the current paper, it is argued that many of these abuses stem from the uncritical acceptance of…
