What is scientifically based-research (SBR)?

• According to the Institute of Education Sciences,
  scientifically based research
• employs systematic, empirical methods that draw
  on observation or experiment
• involves data analyses that are adequate to
  support the general findings
• relies on measurements or observational methods
  that provide reliable data
• makes claims of causal relationships only in
  random-assignment experiments or other designs
  (to the extent such designs substantially
  eliminate plausible competing explanations for
  the obtained results)

12
What is scientifically based-research (SBR)?

• According to the Institute of Education Sciences,
  scientifically based research
• ensures that studies and methods are presented in
  sufficient detail and clarity to allow for
  replication or, at a minimum, to offer the
  opportunity to build systematically on the
  findings of the research
• obtains acceptance by a peer-reviewed journal or
  approval by a panel of independent experts
  through a comparably rigorous, objective, and
  scientific review and
• uses research designs and methods appropriate to
  the research question posed.
