Scientifically Based Practices
Scientifically based practice is characterized by: (a) a hypothesis about what
works, or how it works, is formulated; (b) a treatment group and control group
are used in a study to try to disprove the hypothesis; (c) several studies find
the same result; (d) study findings can be applied broadly, to students other
than the ones studied; (e) the study's design measures, and its interpretation
of results, meet rigorous standards of peer review; and (f) results found through
using different approaches all point to the same conclusion.
