In recent years, countries including the UK and USA have seen advancements in the use of Randomised Controlled Trials in education, progress that has not been mirrored in Ireland. Ireland does not have a strong tradition of using experimental or quasi-experimental evaluation designs for monitoring and evaluation of education policy despite…

Clarke; Natalie Ives; Sue Jowett; Caroline Rick; Rebecca Woolley; Catherine M. Sackley – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2025
Background: As people with Parkinson's experience progressive communication changes, effective, implementable speech and language therapy (SLT) interventions are needed. Process evaluations alongside pragmatic randomised controlled trials (RCTs) are of clinical value if they describe, compare and understand the implementation of trial…

Lauren Spinner; Aoife Duff – Education Endowment Foundation, 2025
This paper summarises lessons learned from the Education Endowment Foundation's (EEF) early years (EY) trials and provides practical recommendations for conducting EY evaluations, particularly randomised control trials (RCTs) with pre-reception children. The report includes five sections, covering the following recommendations for the planning,…

Naureen Karachiwalla; Katrina Kosec; Saher Asad; Masooma Habib; Clare Leaver; Attique ur Rehman – Education Finance and Policy, 2025
Partnering with governments to co-design pilot interventions and embed them in local bureaucratic systems is increasingly seen as "best practice" on grounds of scalability and sustainability. This paper reports on a pilot program that was co-designed with, and embedded within, the Elementary and Secondary Education Department in…

Xiang Zhou; Ho Lun Wong; Xiangdong Wei; W. Stanley Siebert – Education Economics, 2025
RCTs in primary schools in rural China show frequent personalized teacher feedback improves exam scores for Grade 3 (age 9), including those 'left behind' by migrating parents. Two terms of biweekly feedback increase math and language scores by 0.15 standard deviations, with an RCT texting results to parents giving 0.26 sd extra math improvement…

Fien Allemeersch; Kristiane Van Lierde; Nick Verhaeghe; Kim Bettens; Tara Mouton; Greet Hens; Cassandra Alighieri – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2025
Background: In children with a cleft palate with or without a cleft lip (CP±L), some evidence exists for superior results of high-intensity speech intervention (HISI) compared with low-intensity speech intervention (LISI) on speech and health-related quality of life (HRQoL). However, the existing research often involves small sample sizes.…

Steven Glazerman; Larissa Campuzano; Nancy Murray – Evaluation Review, 2025
Randomized experiments involving education interventions are typically implemented as cluster randomized trials, with schools serving as clusters. To design such a study, it is critical to understand the degree to which learning outcomes vary between versus within clusters (schools), specifically the intraclass correlation coefficient. It is also…

Restricted and repetitive behaviours vary greatly between autistic people. Some are a source of pleasure or create opportunities for learning; others may be detrimental in day-to-day life or cause harm. We have developed, in close collaboration with parents/carers, the Understanding Repetitive Behaviours programme, designed for families of young…

Martin Brunner; Sophie E. Stallasch; Cordula Artelt; Oliver Lüdtke – Educational Psychology Review, 2025
There is a need for robust evidence about which educational interventions work in preschool to foster children's cognitive and socio-emotional learning (SEL) outcomes. Lab-based individually randomized experiments can develop and refine such interventions, and field-based randomized experiments (e.g., cluster randomized trials) evaluate their…

Objective: Our study aimed to compare the efficacy of artificial intelligence (AI)-based immersive training with human-led workshops to improve the English language skills of non-English early career researchers (NEECRs) in a Nigerian public university. Methods: Our study employed a randomized pretest/posttest control group design. A total of 124…
