q1 · i? · qualitative · r1
Case-study report of knowledge brokering during site visits: the principal's own estimate of teacher adoption of brain breaks after a research presentation. The 80-90 percent figure is the principal's estimate, not a measured outcome, and no effect size is reported.
"Uncapher presented research on the benefits of “brain breaks” between activities. Rodgers estimates about 80-90 percent of her teachers now implement these breaks in their classrooms, and many say it’s exciting to learn about the latest research."
