EVIDENCE-BASED EDUCATIONAL METHODS answers the challenge of the _No
Child Left Behind Act_ of 2001 by promoting evidence-based educational
methods designed to improve student learning. Behavioral scientists
have been refining these instructional methods for decades before the
current call for evidence-based education. Precision Teaching, Direct
Instruction, Computerized Teaching, Personalized System of
Instruction, and other unique applications of behavior analysis are
all informed by the scientific principles of learning, have been
tested in the laboratory, and are often shown to have significant
success in field applications. This book details each of these
approaches to education based on the principles of behavior analysis.
Individuals and agencies responsible for instruction that leaves no
child behind will find this compendium an important resource for
meeting that challenge, and young educators will greatly benefit from
this text, as they will see a blueprint of the evidence-based
education systems being planned for the future.
* The education literature is replete with fly-by-night ideas and
unresearched opinions about how to teach children. This book has none
of that. The reader is given researched educational methods. In fact,
some methods draw on 3 or 4 decades of experimental data. The whole
book is cohesive, not just a patchwork of different educators'
opinions. All of the chapters are built on basic scientific principles
of behavior, and all of the methods can be used with one another
* This is a book by scientist-practitioners, but not for scientists
only. A parent can read many of these chapters, see the merit in the
methods, and convey the need and the process for each of the methods
* No book stands alone, but is connected to a greater literature base.
The reader is shown where other information can be found about these
methods.
* The only thing better than scientific data is scientific data
