Seminar on intervention research in education and special needs education
Researchers of education and special needs education are presently being challenged by politicians and society at large to contribute more actively with guidelines to educators about which policies and practices to adopt. Randomized controlled trials (RCT) are often described as the gold standard\ for providing guidance to educators about evidence based policies and practices.
