Similarities

• 1. Both identify and analyze problems.
• 2. Both generate solutions.
• 3. Both implement systematic procedures.
• 4. Both document effects of intervention.
• 5. Both make data-based decisions.

Differences

• 1. Conflict between serving many vs. some
  students.
• 2. Constraints imposed by experimental control.
• 3. Materials/content changes.
• 4. Need for precise measurement.

Value of Research

• Research allows you to soundly determine the
  effectiveness of what you are doing.
• It allows you to suggest causality--if I do this,
  this effect will consistently occur.

• What is Scientifically-Based Research?

8

• Scientifically-based research (a) means research
  that involves the application of rigorous,
  sytematic, and objective procedures to obtain
  reliable and valid knowledge relevant to
  education activities and programs and

9

• (b) includes research that employs systematic,
  empirical methods that draw on observation or
  experiment (c ) involves rigorous data analyses
  that are adequate to test the stated hypotheses
  and justify the conclusions drawn

10

• (d) relies on measurements or observational
  methods that provide reliable and valid data,
  across multiple observations, and across studies
  and (e) is evaluated using experimental designs
  that contain within-condition or
  across-conditions that allow for clarity.
