Objective: To increase administration of influenza (flu), human papillomavirus (HPV) and meningococcal serogroup B (MenB) vaccinations to students at college student health centers (SHCs). Participants: Improvement teams from 45 US-based SHCs. Methods: Teams participated in a 7-month virtual learning collaborative to implement immunization…

Faculty members in STEM report numerous motivators and barriers to adopting evidence-based instructional practices (EBIPs), yet the degree to which these factors are associated with EBIP adoption in postsecondary chemistry courses is unclear. The role of departmental climate around teaching in driving or hindering EBIP adoption is particularly…

This article proposes and discusses a theoretical framework that combines elements from critical policy sociology and discourse theory to study enactments of policy for research-based music teaching in three Swedish policy contexts. Sweden, being the first country to incorporate legal demands for research-based education into its Education Act in…

This qualitative descriptive study aimed to explore how community college students describe their motivations and reasoning when learning about controversial science topics at a southwestern community college. Anti-science attitudes have been increasing globally, but is not fully understood. Two research questions were developed using the theory…

This applied dissertation was designed to describe the research-based practices used by middle school teachers of multilingual or ELL students in the subject area courses and the teachers' self-efficacy to implement those research-based practices while teaching. Also, this study aimed to describe the impact of professional development regarding…

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEIA) and the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) require teachers to use evidence-based practices (EBPs) with students with disabilities. Knowledge of EBPs can improve student outcomes and requires training and practice for successful implementation. Teachers have reported a lack of…

As more institutions of higher education offer comprehensive transition and postsecondary programs for students with intellectual disabilities, a systematic process for strategically planning their postsecondary programs is needed.

This survey of a nationally representative sample of schools was undertaken to identify: what well-being and mental health…

The evidence continuum is a five-domain model for building evidence through needs assessment, program theory, process evaluation, outcomes and impact evaluation, and optimization studies. In this conceptual article, the first two domains of the evidence continuum are used to design a learner centered course on advanced research methods, and…

Whilst beneficial, the consistent and regular use of evidence to improve teaching and learning in schools is proving difficult to achieve in practice. This paper attempts to shed new light on this issue by examining the applicability of a model of rational behaviour as it relates to the notion of evidence-informed practice (EIP). Specifically,…

Educational institutions are increasingly turning to learning analytics to identify and intervene with students at risk of underperformance or discontinuation. However, the extent to which the current evidence base supports this investment is currently unclear, and particularly so in relation to the effectiveness of interventions based on…
