This article provides evidence about predictive relationships between features of community college interventions and their impacts on student progress. This evidence is based on analyses of student-level data from large-scale randomized trials of 39 (mostly) community college interventions. Specifically, the evidence consistently indicates that…

Odom, Samuel L. – Research and Practice for Persons with Severe Disabilities, 2021
The purpose of this article is to examine the application of randomized controlled trial (RCT) methodology for determining the efficacy of school-based interventions in general and special education. In education science, RCTs are widely acknowledged as the gold standard of efficacy research, with other methodologies relegated to a lower level of…

Jo Van Herwegen; Thomas Masterman; Julie Dockrell; Rebecca Gordon; Chloe Marshall; Michael S. C. Thomas – Journal of Research in Special Educational Needs, 2025
No previous systematic reviews have focused on which targeted interventions successfully raise educational outcomes (i.e. reading, writing, mathematics, science and general attainment outcomes) for students with Down syndrome. This study reports on the findings from a larger pre-registered systematic review of targeted interventions for students…

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…

Windsor, Catriona; Zhang, Tingwei; Wilson, Nathan J.; Blyth, Katrina; Ballentine, Natalie; Speyer, Renée – Journal of Applied Research in Intellectual Disabilities, 2023
Background: Evidence-based interventions are essential for school-aged children with intellectual disabilities to facilitate development and promote future independence. Methods: Using a PRISMA approach, systematic screening of five databases was undertaken. Original randomised controlled studies with psychosocial-behavioural interventions were…

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…

Amanda Garey – ProQuest LLC, 2021
The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of an online interprofessional education competency (IPEC) online educational module intervention on the level of interprofessional team collaboration (ITC) on three subscales, as measured with the Assessment of Interprofessional Team Collaboration Scale (AITCS-II) in interprofessional…

Deborah M. Caldwell; Jennifer C. Palmer; Katie E. Webster; Sarah R. Davies; Hugo Hughes; Joseph Rona; Rachel Churchill; Sarah E. Hetrick; Nicky J. Welton – Prevention Science, 2025
Many randomized controlled trials have investigated the role of school-based prevention interventions to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression in young people. Systematic reviews have subsequently demonstrated a small, beneficial effect of these interventions when compared to a combined control group including usual care, no intervention, or…

Robotic therapies are receiving growing interest in the autism field, especially for the improvement of social skills of children, enhancing traditional human interventions. In this work, we conduct a scoping review of the literature in robotics for autism, providing the largest review on this field from the last five years. Our work underlines…

Troyer, Margaret – Journal of Research in Reading, 2022
Background: Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) have long been considered the gold standard in education research. Federal funds are allocated to evaluations that meet What Works Clearinghouse standards; RCT designs are required in order to meet these standards without reservations. Schools seek out interventions that are research based, in other…

Patterson, Charity G.; Leland, Natalie E.; Mormer, Elaine; Palmer, Catherine V. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: Individual-randomized trials are the gold standard for testing the efficacy and effectiveness of drugs, devices, and behavioral interventions. Health care delivery, educational, and programmatic interventions are often complex, involving multiple levels of change and measurement precluding individual randomization for testing.…
