4. RBIs: Scientifically Based Research
In NCLB scientifically based research is defined as research that
◦ (1) Employs systematic, empirical methods that draw on observation or
experiment
◦ (2) Involves rigorous data analyses that are adequate to test the stated
hypothesis and justify the general conclusion
◦ (3) Relies on measurement or observational methods that provide valid data
across evaluators and observers, and across multiple measurements and
observations
◦ (4) Is accepted by a peer-reviewed or a panel of dependent experts through
comparatively rigorous, objective and scientific review.

5. Evidence-Based Practice
A program or instructional practice that is evidence based has gone
through rigorous research and has demonstrated a record of
success; there is reliable, trustworthy and valid evidence to suggest
the program is effective; evidence supporting the practice should be

scientifically based.

Evidence-based practices or model programs that have shown the
greatest levels of effectiveness are those that have established
generalizability (replicated in different settings and with different
populations over time) through research studies

8. Technology Enhanced EBPs/RBIs
“Qne way to further technology use is to examine
what we know about effective instructional
practices and link the critical features of these
practices with technology-based solutions”
(Smith & Okolo, 2012, p 258)
