Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q3 i3 Across 12 group-design studies, training produced a large, statistically significant mean effect on implementation fidelity compared with no training or business-as-usual training. → Matthew E. Brock and Erik W. Carter 2017

q3 · i3 · quant-synthesis · r3
Random-effects meta-analysis of 12 RCTs and quasi-experimental studies of educator training (teachers, pre-service teachers, paraprofessionals) with observed implementation fidelity outcomes. The mean effect size of "g = 1.08, 95% CI = [0.71, 1.46]" was reported as large by common benchmarks; study-level effects ranged from g = .06 to 2.57.
"Study-level effect sizes across individual studies ranged from g = .06 to 2.57, with a mean effect size of g = 1.08, 95% CI = [0.71, 1.46]."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- In a meta-analysis of single-case studies, participants trained with complete behavioral skills training had significantly higher DTT implementation fidelity than those trained with only one, two, or three BST components — related
- Behavioral skills training and other trainings raise DTT implementation fidelity from a low baseline of 40.61% to over 90% accuracy by the end of training — related
- Modeling as a training component shows no statistically significant effect on DTT implementation fidelity — related
- Training combining modeling and performance feedback is associated with larger implementation fidelity effects (β = .77, p = .04) — related
- SWPBIS training significantly improved staff-reported implementation fidelity on all four EBS subscales — related
- DTT implementation fidelity declines slightly after training ends, with a statistically significant difference between intervention and maintenance slopes — related
