Description
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.
Audience
Researchers in educational psychology, education, and cognitive psychology, as well as teachers and policy makers.
