Nicholas D. Myers; Ahnalee M. Brincks; Seungmin Lee – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2025
Physical activity (PA) promotion is an ideal intervention target for public health because it has the potential to help individuals feel better, sleep better, and perform daily tasks more easily, in addition to providing disease prevention benefits. There is strong evidence that individual-level theory-based behavioral interventions are effective…

Manolov, Rumen; Tanious, René; Fernández-Castilla, Belén – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2022
In science in general and in the context of single-case experimental designs, replication of the effects of the intervention within and/or across participants or experiments is crucial for establishing causality and for assessing the generality of the intervention effect. Specific developments and proposals for assessing whether an effect has been…

What Works Clearinghouse, 2022
Education decisionmakers need access to the best evidence about the effectiveness of education interventions, including practices, products, programs, and policies. It can be difficult, time consuming, and costly to access and draw conclusions from relevant studies about the effectiveness of interventions. The What Works Clearinghouse (WWC)…

Joyce, Kathryn E.; Cartwright, Nancy – American Educational Research Journal, 2020
This article addresses the gap between what works in research and what works in practice. Currently, research in evidence-based education policy and practice focuses on randomized controlled trials. These can support causal ascriptions ("It worked") but provide little basis for local effectiveness predictions ("It will work…

Narea, Marigen – New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, 2016
This commentary discusses the implication of child and adolescent development research for public policy in Latin America. As illustrated by the articles in this special issue, even though the research of child and adolescent development in Latin America is making significant progress, still more research is needed. Developmental research in the…

Porter, Kristin E.; Reardon, Sean F.; Unlu, Fatih; Bloom, Howard S.; Robinson-Cimpian, Joseph P. – MDRC, 2014
A valuable extension of the single-rating regression discontinuity design (RDD) is a multiple-rating RDD (MRRDD). To date, four main methods have been used to estimate average treatment effects at the multiple treatment frontiers of an MRRDD: the "surface" method, the "frontier" method, the "binding-score" method, and…

Rose, Roderick A. – ProQuest LLC, 2013
An important target of education policy is to improve overall teacher effectiveness using evidence-based policies. Randomized control trials (RCTs), which randomly assign study participants or groups of participants to treatment and control conditions, are not always practical or possible and observational studies using rigorous quasi-experimental…

Graesser, Arthur C.; Hu, Xiangen – Educational Psychology Review, 2011
Causal prescriptive statements are valued in the social sciences when there is the goal of helping people through interventions. The articles in this special issue cover different methods for testing causal prescriptive statements. This commentary identifies both virtues and liabilities of these different approaches. We argue that it is extremely…

Taylor, Joseph; Kowalski, Susan; Wilson, Christopher; Getty, Stephen; Carlson, Janet – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2013
This paper focuses on the trade-offs that lie at the intersection of methodological requirements for causal effect studies and policies that affect how and to what extent schools engage in such studies. More specifically, current federal funding priorities encourage large-scale randomized studies of interventions in authentic settings. At the same…

Taylor, Joseph; Kowalski, Susan; Stuhlsatz, Molly; Wilson, Christopher; Spybrook, Jessaca – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2013
The purpose of this paper is to use both conceptual and statistical approaches to explore publication bias in recent causal effects studies in science education, and to draw from this exploration implications for researchers, journal reviewers, and journal editors. This paper fills a void in the "science education" literature as no…

Lee, Bridget Kiger; Patall, Erika A.; Cawthon, Stephanie W.; Steingut, Rebecca R. – Review of Educational Research, 2015
The President's Committee on the Arts and Humanities report heartily supported arts integration. However, the President's Committee called for a better understanding of the dimensions of quality and best practices. One promising arts integration method is drama-based pedagogy (DBP). A comprehensive search of the literature revealed 47…

Page, Lindsay C. – Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2012
Experimental evaluations are increasingly common in the U.S. educational policy-research context. Often, in investigations of multifaceted interventions, researchers and policymakers alike are interested in not only "whether" a given intervention impacted an outcome but also "why". What "features" of the intervention…

Kelly, Michael P.; Moore, Tessa A. – Research on Social Work Practice, 2011
This article outlines a set of methodological, theoretical, and other issues relating to the conduct of good outcome studies. The article begins by considering the contribution of evidence-based medicine to the methodology of outcome research. The lessons which can be applied in outcome studies in nonmedical settings are described. The article…

T. R. Kratochwill; J. Hitchcock; R. H. Horner; J. R. Levin; S. L. Odom; D. M Rindskopf; W. R. Shadish – What Works Clearinghouse, 2010
In an effort to expand the pool of scientific evidence available for review, the What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) assembled a panel of national experts in single-case design (SCD) and analysis to draft SCD Standards. SCDs are adaptations of interrupted time-series designs and can provide a rigorous experimental evaluation of intervention effects.…

Schochet, Peter Z. – National Center for Education Evaluation and Regional Assistance, 2009
This paper examines the estimation of two-stage clustered RCT designs in education research using the Neyman causal inference framework that underlies experiments. The key distinction between the considered causal models is whether potential treatment and control group outcomes are considered to be fixed for the study population (the…
