14. 14. AKA,M -6/26/2015 6:52:10 PM Gok -Evidence Based Practice Professional Learning for Educators Series P L E S "scientifically-based research" "to the extent practicable." This means that whenever possible, the educational interventions being used must be strongly supported by evidence from well- conducted research studies.
15. 15. AKA,M -6/26/2015 6:52:10 PM Gok -Evidence Based Practice Professional Learning for Educators Series P L E S may be said to be scientific when it: Uses a sound research design. The outcomes of students receiving a tested teaching strategy or intervention are compared to similar students who do not receive the intervention. Is based on high quality data analysis. Researchers must be sure to carefully collect, store and examine the data. Involves other researchers to review the results. The study should be reported in a journal so other researchers can review the methods used and repeat the research in other settings.

17. 17. AKA,M -6/26/2015 6:52:11 PM Gok -Evidence Based Practice Professional Learning for Educators Series P L E S High-quality research into what works best can improve outcomes, benefitting pupils and increasing teachers independence. research on what works best should be a routine part of life in education teachers should be empowered to participate in research myths about randomized trials in education should be addressed, removing barriers to research the results of research should be disseminated more efficiently resources on research should be available to teachers, enabling them to be critical and thoughtful consumers of evidence barriers between teachers and researchers should be removed teachers should be driving the research agenda, by identifying questions that need to be answered.
18. 18. AKA,M -6/26/2015 6:52:11 PM Gok -Evidence Based Practice Professional Learning for Educators Series P L E S This is not about telling teachers what to do. It is in fact quite the opposite. This is about empowering teachers to make independent, informed decisions about what works, by generating good quality evidence, and using it thoughtfully. The gains here are potentially huge. Teachers have the same opportunity to leap forwards and become a truly evidence-based profession. This is a huge prize, waiting to be claimed by teachers. Goldacre
19. 19. AKA,M -6/26/2015 6:52:11 PM Gok -Evidence Based Practice Professional Learning for Educators Series P L E S Are there examples in education in which practices based solely upon belief, unfettered by research support, have been shown to be incorrect, and have led to unhelpful teaching? Learning to read is as natural as learning to speak (National Council of Teachers of English, 1999). Children do not learn to read in order to be able to read a book, they learn to read by reading books (NZ Ministry of Education, as cited in Mooney, 1988). Parents reading to children is sufficient to evoke reading (Fox, 2005).
20. 20. AKA,M -6/26/2015 6:52:12 PM Gok -Evidence Based Practice Professional Learning for Educators Series P L E S Are there examples in education in which practices based solely upon belief, unfettered by research support, have been shown to be incorrect, and have led to unhelpful teaching? Good readers skim over words rather than attending to detail (Goodman, 1985). Fluent readers identify words as ideograms (Smith, 1973). Skilled reading involves prediction from context (Emmitt, 1996).
21. 21. AKA,M -6/26/2015 6:52:12 PM Gok -Evidence Based Practice Professional Learning for Educators Series P L E S Are there examples in education in which practices based solely upon belief, unfettered by research support, have been shown to be incorrect, and have led to unhelpful teaching? English is too irregular for phonics to be helpful (Smith, 1999). Accuracy is not necessary for effective reading (Goodman, 1974). Good spelling derives simply from the act of writing (Goodman, 1989).
22. 22. AKA,M -6/26/2015 6:52:12 PM Gok -Evidence Based Practice Professional Learning for Educators Series P L E S Evidence-based policies have great potential to transform the practice of education, as well as research in education. Evidence based policies could finally set education on the path toward the kind of progressive improvement that most successful parts of our economy and society embarked upon a century ago. Educational researchers should support the movement toward evidence-based policies and then set to work generating the evidence that will be needed to create the schools our children deserve (Slavin, 2002, p.20).
