Background: Despite literature recognising the huge potential of co-production as a positive approach to evidence creation, there is a dearth of evidence about how co-production principles can problematise knowledge exchange, specifically in evaluation work. Aims: To critically examine three evaluation projects commissioned by voluntary sector…

Background: Professional support for people with intellectual disabilities is increasingly delivered remotely. Understanding what support workers do to support people with intellectual disabilities remotely, and how they do this, is therefore important. The purpose of this study was to gain insight into the remote support practice of the support…

This research aims to provide further insight on how to design effective educational games by exploring whether the integration of educational content through game mechanics, text, or a combination of both text and game mechanics is more effective in teaching the learning outcomes in games. The results of the study show that all three methods led…

Formative evaluation provides stakeholders with timely feedback to support an intervention's improvement during implementation to maximize its effectiveness. We describe the qualitative methods that guided one study within a formative evaluation of a multicomponent care delivery intervention. We then describe the challenges and lessons learned…

There is currently limited evidence regarding teachers' perspectives of push-in and pull-out occupational therapy services in the school-based setting. Occupational therapy services can be delivered in different combinations and often vary based on the needs of the student, needs of the teacher and classroom, need for academic time, and need for…

Background: Individuals with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) experience complex needs that often necessitate support from multiple systems.

This systematic review aims to provide a reference point for institutions and academic developers to design and deliver effective training for their students and…

Background: School breakfast programs (SBP) play an important role in reducing food insecurity and helping provide children with adequate nutrition. Using alternative service methods such as breakfast in the classroom, grab and go, and second chance breakfast may increase student participation. Methods: We compared the SBP participation of…

While the measurement of treatment integrity is important to determine how much, and how well, interventions are delivered in schools, the science of treatment integrity is not well developed in education research. The purpose of this paper is to describe a program of research that has developed treatment integrity measures over the past 10 years…
