New US government requirements state that federally funded grants
and school programs must prove that they are based on
scientifically proved improvements in teaching and learning. All
new grants must show they are based on scientifically sound
research to be funded, and budgets to schools must likewise show
that they are based on scientifically sound research. However, the
movement in education over the past several years has been toward
qualitative rather than quantitative measures. The new legislation
comes at a time when researchers are ill trained to measure results
or even to frame questions in an empirical way, and when school
administrators and teachers are no longer remember or were never
trained to prove statistically that their programs are effective.
Experimental Methods for Evaluating Educational Interventions is a
tutorial on what it means to frame a question in an empirical
manner, how one needs to test that a method works, what statistics
one uses to measure effectiveness, and how to document these
findings in a way so as to be compliant with new empirically based
requirements. The book is simplistic enough to be accessible to
those teaching and administrative educational professionals long
out of schooling, but comprehensive and sophisticated enough to be
of use to researchers who know experimental design and statistics
but don't know how to use what they know to write acceptable grant
proposals or to get governmental funding for their programs.
