Using Technology to Identify and Monitor the Implementation of Research-Based Interventions

Goals

1. Clarify definition of “research-based” intervention2. Highlight websites that provide:

a. criteria for reviewing research-based reading, math and/or behavioral interventions

b. links to research-based reading, math and/or behavioral intervention scripts and/or videos

c. links to evidence-based independent practice activities3. Review how technology tools can be used for

monitoring student response to intervention

GOAL 1

• Clarify definition of “research-based” intervention

What is a “research-based” intervention?

Evidence-based

Research-based

Peer-reviewed research

Scientifically based research

Scientifically-based research (SBR) v. peer-reviewed research (PRR) v. research-based (RB) v. evidence-based (EB)

• SBR = experimental or quasi-experimental research, preferably with random assignment

• PRR = overlaps with SBR, but not a subset– Many PRR studies not experimental or quasi-experimental– Blind review typical of PRR, but not necessarily SBR

• RB = intervention designed to be consistent with relevant research findings, but has not necessarily been evaluated in SBR or PRR

• EB = intervention linked to student performance data and/or has been evaluated locally to assess its effectiveness, but is not yet clearly linked to research findings and has not yet been evaluated in SBR or PRR
