SCIENTIFICALLY BASED READING RESEARCH: WHAT IS IT?
About this episode
We want reading instruction for all students to be based on “scientifically based research”. In RTI students are identified for special education services based on how they respond to interventions that are supported by scientifically based research. As well, at our Universities, we are required to make sure preservice teachers receive instruction in reading methods that are supported by scientifically based research. It cannot be just any old kind of research; it must be scientifically based research. So, what exactly does this term mean? What does it take to be scientifically based research? Can only scientists do scientifically based research? Who decides what kind of research is scientifically based? What is science? What is research?
Exploring and explaining these mysteries will be the focus of this podcast.
