Direct linkLorraine Gilleece; Aidan Clerkin – Irish Educational Studies, 2025
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…

Evidence-based medicine (EBM) is helpful for laypersons' decision-making. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of e-learning materials on the essential components of EBM for laypersons. We conducted a web-based, open-label, randomized controlled trial with laypersons in Japan aged [greater than or equal to]20 years who used the internet.…

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…

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.…

Azzolini, Davide; Marzadro, Sonia; Rettore, Enrico; Engelhardt, Katja; Hertz, Benjamin; Wastiau, Patricia – Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2023
Online courses have become an increasingly attractive format for delivering teacher training. However, the low retention rates are a critical and still unsolved issue. This paper presents the results of a randomized controlled trial aimed at testing the impact of a personalized support model on teachers' retention in online training courses. The…

Simpson, Adrian – Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2023
Evidence-based education aims to support policy makers choosing between potential interventions. This rarely involves considering each in isolation; instead, sets of evidence regarding many potential policy interventions are considered. Filtering a set on any quantity measured with error risks the "winner's curse": conditional on…

Brad Jones; Narelle Eather; Andrew Miller; Philip J. Morgan – Physical Education and Sport Pedagogy, 2024
Background: There is a growing body of evidence showing the benefits to coaches and players in adopting a game-based pedagogical approach. Whilst the evidence in support of a game-based pedagogy continues to rise it is acknowledged that the complex art form of coaching is a uniquely personal one, where the coach may draw on previous first-hand…

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…

Uwimpuhwe, Germaine; Singh, Akansha; Higgins, Steve; Kasim, Adetayo – International Journal of Research & Method in Education, 2021
Educational researchers advocate the use of an effect size and its confidence interval to assess the effectiveness of interventions instead of relying on a p-value, which has been blamed for lack of reproducibility of research findings and the misuse of statistics. The aim of this study is to provide a framework, which can provide direct evidence…

Solís-Cordero, Katherine; Lerner, Rogério; Marinho, Patricia; Camargo, Patricia; Takey, Silvia; Fujimori, Elizabeth – International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 2022
The current situation due to the COVID-19 pandemic has had huge consequences in all aspects of our lives, including the development of research activities. Studies involving face-to-face interaction with people, such as randomized controlled trials, were the first affected. The objective of this article is to present the insights on challenges…

This study is a randomized controlled trial of a 12-week community-based group parenting intervention ("CASITA") in Lima, Peru. CASITA improved neurodevelopment in a pilot study of 60 Peruvian children and subsequently scaled to 3,000 households throughout the district. The objective of this study was to assess intervention effectiveness…

Osenk, Ivana; Johnson, Catherine; Wade, Tracey D. – School Mental Health, 2023
Perfectionism has adverse impacts on mental health and academic outcomes. We evaluated a 5-lesson classroom intervention for young adolescents delivered by teachers for impact on perfectionism, well-being, self-compassion, academic motivation and negative affect, at post-intervention and 3-month follow-up. Classes (N = 636 students, M[subscript…

Dianne Newbury; Carol Mesa; Marina L. Puglisi; Marysia Nash; Sonali Nag; Charles Hulme; Margaret J. Snowling – Research Papers in Education, 2023
Research in the UK suggests that multi-componential interventions focusing on language and pre-literacy skills can improve children's reading and language skills. However, simple translations of such programmes may not produce equivalent effects in diverse communities. The reasons for this are multi-faceted and include factors beyond the rationale…
