Quick Hints on Research for Busy Educators
The “Showing Evidence of Educational Technology’s Effectiveness” participants developed rubrics which provide criteria for ranking research.
As participants discussed the type of rubric(s) that would assist in ranking and evaluating research, they determined that two rubrics would provide helpful guidance.
These rubrics are intended to serve as tools for analyzing research and represent the thinking and discussions of many SETDA members:
