Students with learning disabilities in mathematics often struggle with the underlying concepts of multidigit addition and subtraction. To help students build a conceptual understanding of these computations, teachers can utilize evidence-based practices such as the concrete-semi-concrete-abstract framework and the use of multiple visual…

Neurogenic bladder is common in patients with traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, spinal bifida, and stroke. Many patients who have these diseases struggle to control their bladder. Neurogenic bladder can be defined as the inability to completely empty the bladder. For managing the bladder, clinicians usually opt for using an indwelling…

While school nurses are accountable for their own practice, stipulations in individual employee contracts may require supervision and evaluation. Like teachers and others who provide services for students, school nurses can benefit from self-assessment, peer review, and supervision and performance evaluations that focus on fostering continuous…

I. Purpose of the Study: Detecting whether interventions work or not (through main effect analysis) can provide empirical evidence regarding the causal linkage between malleable factors (e.g., interventions) and learner outcomes. In complement, moderation analyses help delineate for whom and under what conditions intervention effects are most…

The addition of disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (DMDD) to the fifth edition of the "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders" ("DSM-5") was a controversial decision in 2013 and one that continues to the present. Researchers have found that DMDD exhibits both poor interrater reliability and discriminant…

Evidence based medicine (EBM) has been synonymous to delivery of quality care for almost thirty years. Since the movement's inception, the assumption has been that decisions based on high quality evidence would translate to better care for patients. Despite EBM's many attractive features and the substantive attention it has received in the…

Though the concept of validity is rooted in positivism, recent scholars have expanded the definition of validity to reflect more progressive paradigms, opening the door to consideration of validity in qualitative education research. Despite this evolution, to date a review of validity evidence in qualitative research has yet to be undertaken even…

Classroom management is one of the main difficulties encountered by teachers. One way of improving this situation is to implement classroom management strategies that have been validated by scientific research. The purpose of this research is to study the classroom management strategies declared by a sample of novice teachers, and the sources of…

Adolescence is a critical period for developing risk behaviors such as substance use, which can impact health in adulthood. Culturally adapted evidence-based programs (EBPs) are promising for prevention. This review explores the processes for culturally adapting EBPs targeting alcohol, tobacco, or cannabis use, and/or anxiety or depression in…

Developing tailored implementation strategies to increase the use of evidence-based practice (EBP) requires accurate identification of predictors of their use. However, known difficulties with measuring EBP use complicates interpretation of the extant literature. In this proof-of-concept study, we examined whether the same predictors of use of…

Meta-analytic studies of second language (L2) learning typically employ a classic approach to meta-analysis. Although the classic approach can clarify findings, a multivariate, multilevel meta-analysis (3M) approach increases transparency by accounting for (a) dependencies in the evidence presented by primary studies, (b) methodological…

Promoting self-determination has been shown to enhance outcomes for students with and without disabilities. The Self-Determined Learning Model of Instruction (SDLMI) is an evidence-based instructional model designed to promote self-determination in diverse contexts, including inclusive general education classrooms. SDLMI delivery requires training…

The issue of students dropping out before completing secondary education is a global concern with significant individual and societal consequences. Various terms, such as Early School Leaving (ESL), Early Leaving from Education and Training (ELET), and school dropout, reflect different policy perspectives on this phenomenon. Despite international…

Purpose: Early language intervention is essential for children with indicators of language delay. Enhanced milieu teaching (EMT) is a naturalistic intervention that supports the language development of children with emerging language. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of all qualifying single-case and group design studies that…

Background: A systematic adaptation of an evidence-based state health curriculum (Michigan Model for Health™, MMH) was created to enhance physical activity and family engagement materials but retain the core functional elements of the curriculum. Methods: The Framework for Reporting Adaptations and Modifications-Enhanced (FRAME) was used to…
