Anakin, Megan; Lazarovitch, Ayelet – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2012
Using a case study, the complex challenge of making mathematics education research accessible to secondary mathematics teachers was addressed with two questions. How can we design a method that will meet the challenge of making research usable for mathematics teachers? And what would this method be? To address this challenge we describe a process…

Cook, Bryan G.; Tankersley, Melody; Cook, Lysandra; Landrum, Timothy J. – Intervention in School and Clinic, 2008
A major tenet of both the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act and the No Child Left Behind Act is the identification and use of evidence-based practices, or those instructional techniques shown by research as most likely to improve student outcomes meaningfully. However, much confusion exists regarding the meaning and potential…

Cook, Lysandra; Cook, Bryan G.; Landrum, Timothy J.; Tankersley, Melody – Intervention in School and Clinic, 2008
Using evidence-based practices, or those instructional techniques shown by research to improve student outcomes meaningfully, increases the performance of students with disabilities and should therefore be a priority for special educators. But how does a practice come to be considered evidence based? The unique characteristics of group…

McDuffie, Kimberly A.; Scruggs, Thomas E. – Intervention in School and Clinic, 2008
In response to recent trends and legislation, the concept of implementing evidence-based practices has become a critical component of contemporary schooling. It is important that teachers and families of students with disabilities understand the role that qualitative research plays in determining whether a practice is in fact evidence based.…

Tankersley, Melody; Harjusola-Webb, Sanna; Landrum, Timothy J. – Intervention in School and Clinic, 2008
Research in the field of special education often incorporates single-subject designs to investigate the effectiveness of educational practices for students with disabilities. As such, it is important that educators and educational professionals understand the characteristics of single-subject research methodologies and how those characteristics…

Slavin, Robert; Hunter, Madeline – Instructor, 1987
The enthusiastic acceptance of Madeline Hunter's ideas is worrisome, according to Slavin, because of the large-scale, mandated implementation of a stripped-down formula version of her principles. Hunter defends her work and argues that teachers should be free to use their own creativity. (MT)

Cook, Bryan G.; Tankersley, Melody; Harjusola-Webb, Sanna – Intervention in School and Clinic, 2008
There has been an increasing focus on evidence-based practices in special education with efforts underway to authoritatively identify those practices that are evidence based. However, the identification of evidence-based practices is only the beginning of the process of implementing evidence-based special education. The professional wisdom of…

Bouchard, Robert – Francais dans le Monde, 1983
Two questions are addressed: whether or not the revolutions in methodology realized in research have any real effect on classroom teaching and why there is a constant effort to find new methodologies. A new approach to the problem, focusing on changing the educational institutions themselves, is suggested. (MSE)

Maxim, George W. – Improving College and University Teaching, 1977
The effects of a structured instructional approach and of an inquiry-based instructional approach on the abilities of teachers to read and interpret research literature in education were examined in a study using 69 graduate students. Both methods proved effective, and the results indicate that improved interpretation skills can be taught. (LBH)
