The Program Evaluation KnowledgeBase : Element 1 : Activity 1 : Task 2: Understand Scientifically Based Research

Guideline: Scientifically based research is one of the cornerstones of the No Child Left Behind Act. Principals, teachers and appropriate LEA staff must have a handle on its application to their schools and districts as it plays such a prominent role in program development. The resources provided are intended to offer background information on the subject.

This document provides a summary of the basic principles of scientific inquiry laying the groundwork for its application in education. These principles offer a framework for educators to use in assessing education research.

This document offers the definition of scientifically based research as defined in Title IX of the No Child Left Behind Act.

The Center for Comprehensive School Reform and Improvement's website provides a compilation of resources on scientifically based research organized around the eleven components of the Comprehensive School Reform (CSR) Program.

This U.S. Department of Education guide offers "tools to educational practitioners that help distinguish practices supported by rigorous evidence from those that are not."

Alternate format: PDF

The materials offered were developed by the National Clearinghouse for Comprehensive School Reform, staff from regional educational laboratories, and comprehensive school reform coordinators from select state education agencies. They address what researchers do, distinguish the levels of research, define research designs, suggest a review grid for assessing research projects, include a guide on writing effective research strategies, and offer a glossary of research terminology.

A presentation on evidence-based education presented at the first annual Student Achievement and School Accountability Conference: Using Title I Programs as a Model for Reform sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education in October 2002.
