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.
