Fogarty, Melissa; Oslund, Eric; Simmons, Deborah; Davis, John; Simmons, Leslie; Anderson, Leah; Clemens, Nathan; Roberts, Greg – Educational Psychology Review, 2014
In this experimental study, we examined the effects of a multicomponent reading comprehension intervention in sixth- to eighth-grade English language arts classes with a focus on factors to enhance treatment implementation. We tested the contribution of a theoretically derived fidelity framework that included adherence, quality, dosage, program…

Gore, Teresa – ProQuest LLC, 2014
There is an increase in the use and acceptance of simulation in nursing education. Conflicting data exists regarding the level of fidelity required for effective learning. With the increasing use of simulation in nursing education, simulation is replacing some of the traditional clinical experiences for students. There is a dearth of data…

Oreopoulos, Philip; Patterson, Richard W.; Petronijevic, Uros; Pope, Nolan G. – National Bureau of Economic Research, 2018
We evaluate two low-cost college support programs designed to directly target insufficient study time, a common characteristic among a large fraction of undergraduates. We conduct our experiment across three distinct college-types: (i) a selective urban college campus, (ii) a less selective suburban college campus, and (iii) an online college,…

Qatar initiated a K-12 national educational reform in 2001. However, there is limited information on the instructional practices of the teachers in the reform schools. This project was an observational study of classrooms with a stratified random sample of the first six cohorts of reform schools. Specifically, 156 classrooms were observed in 29…

Bundi, Pirmin – American Journal of Evaluation, 2016
Research on evaluation has mainly focused on the use of evaluation and has given little attention to the origins of evaluation demand. In this article, I consider the question of why parliamentarians demand evaluations with parliamentary requests. Building on the literature of delegation, I use a principal-agent framework to explain the origins of…

van der Zwet, Renske J. M.; Kolmer, Deirdre M. Beneken genaamd; Schalk, René – Research on Social Work Practice, 2016
Objectives: This study assesses social workers' orientation toward the evidence-based practice (EBP) process and explores which specific variables (e.g. age) are associated. Methods: Data were collected from 341 Dutch social workers through an online survey which included a Dutch translation of the EBP Process Assessment Scale (EBPPAS), along with…

Covarrubias-Papahiu, Patricia – Journal of Educational Psychology - Propositos y Representaciones, 2016
The aim of this research was to know how the Competency-Based Education (CBE) approach is represented by professors who are part of the professional education of psychologists, and the challenges and implications of, in their opinion, incorporating it in the classroom practice. Therefore, a research was conducted to know the type of…

Crone, Regina M.; Mehta, Smita Shukla – Education and Treatment of Children, 2016
Setting variables such as location of parent training, programming with common stimuli, generalization of discrete responses to non-trained settings, and subsequent reduction in child problem behavior may influence the effectiveness of interventions. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of home-versus clinic-based training…

Adamo, Elyse K.; Wu, Jenny; Wolery, Mark; Hemmeter, Mary Louise; Ledford, Jennifer R.; Barton, Erin E. – Journal of Early Intervention, 2015
Children with Down syndrome may be at increased risk of problems associated with inactivity. Early intervention to increase physical activity may lead to increased participation in typical activities and long-term increases in quality of life (e.g., decreased likelihood of obesity-related illness). A multi-component intervention, including video…

Kern, Lee – Remedial and Special Education, 2015
Students with emotional and behavioral disorders continue to challenge educators, and their progress in school has not been favorable. In my experience, we have failed to implement some of the most promising practices with this group of students. In this article, I discuss three approaches, positive supports, mentoring and relationship building,…

Hine, Jeffrey F.; Ardoin, Scott P.; Foster, Tori E. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2015
Research suggests that students spend a substantial amount of time transitioning between classroom activities, which may reduce time spent academically engaged. This study used an ABAB design to evaluate the effects of a computer-assisted intervention that automated intervention components previously shown to decrease transition times. We examined…
