{"product_id":"2940149100330","title":"What is Scientifically Based Research? A Guide for Teachers","description":"More than ever, educators are expected to make decisions that guarantee quality\u003cbr\u003einstruction. As knowledge emerges, so do philosophies, opinions, and rhetoric about\u003cbr\u003edefinitions of instructional excellence. From policy makers to classroom teachers,\u003cbr\u003eeducators need ways to separate misinformation from genuine knowledge and to\u003cbr\u003edistinguish scientific research from poorly supported claims.\u003cbr\u003eEffective teachers use scientific thinking in their classrooms all the time. They assess\u003cbr\u003eand evaluate student performance, develop Individual Education Plans, reflect on their\u003cbr\u003epractice, and engage in action research. Teachers use experimental logic when they plan\u003cbr\u003efor instruction: they evaluate their students’ previous knowledge, construct hypotheses\u003cbr\u003eabout the best methods for teaching, develop teaching plans based on those hypotheses,\u003cbr\u003eobserve the results, and base further instruction on the evidence collected.\u003cbr\u003eIn short, teachers use the concepts of rigorous research and evaluation in profoundly\u003cbr\u003epractical ways.\u003cbr\u003eTeachers can further strengthen their instruction and protect their students’ valuable\u003cbr\u003etime in school by scientifically evaluating claims about teaching methods and recognizing\u003cbr\u003equality research when they see it. This booklet, distilled from the monograph Using\u003cbr\u003eResearch and Reason in Education: How Teachers Can Use Scientifically Based Research\u003cbr\u003eto Make Curricular and Instructional Decisions, provides a brief introduction to\u003cbr\u003eunderstanding and using scientifically based research.","brand":"ReadCycle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47108967432432,"sku":"2940149100330","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940149100330_p0.jpg?v=1763711813","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940149100330","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
