Pinterest is a social media platform that allows users to “pin” resources from the Internet and includes hundreds of connections to education sites. Pinterest is a popular and trusted resource for many teachers, making it a potential way to share evidence-based practices. This column describes how teachers can use Pinterest to share evidence-based practices that enhance instruction for students with disabilities and work toward eliminating the research-to-practice gap.

Research To Practice Gap

Many teachers have various problems in finding solutions to their students’ problems in the classroom. One of the challenges that teachers face is to make decisions about how to teach and manage students’ behavior. Due to research to practice gap, finding appropriate interventions and implementing them in the classroom might be difficult for teachers. Evidence – based practices (EBPs) are offered to close the gap between research and practice. The purpose of this study was to discuss how EBPs are determined and to provide practitioners guidance to implement them in their classrooms. Barriers to implementing EBPs and resources for EBPs were also discussed.

Research To Practice Gap

This chapter opens with a story of how current beliefs and practices can have disastrous outcomes. It discusses the search to understand why front-line therapists and the treatment systems that employ them were not using empirically proven practices, and a new science that was investigating this research-to-practice gap. This chapter discusses the startling things discovered. Even if it could be guaranteed that every therapist would use evidence-based interventions with every patient every time, there would still be no way to measure and monitor the effectiveness of those validated treatments. In addition to evidence-based practice, a vital tool is still missing to make sure services result in sustained recovery. Along with evidence-based practices, performance-based practice is also needed.

Research To Practice Gap

The landscape of larger events surrounding school psychology has converged to present novel opportunities for narrowing the research-to-practice gap. There is widespread agreement on the value of a scientist-practitioner model and the use of evidence-based practices, yet there remain questions as to exactly how these core concepts are realized. A discussion on whether psychological science can be relied on to deliver real-world practices related to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic led IJzerman and colleagues to develop a rubric to evaluate research for real world application called Evidence Readiness Level. This model is adapted for school psychologists’ use in evaluating and implementing research for clinical practice. Clinical Readiness Level is a rubric that is designed to narrow the research-to-practice gap, provide criteria for evidence-based practices, and specify the value of a scientist-practitioner model of school psychology.

Research To Practice Gap

Although researchers have developed evidence-based practices and identified other effective practices that show promise for improving outcomes for students with disabilities, these practices are all too frequently not used in inclusive classrooms. Some have posited that this research-to-practice gap may result because teachers lack confidence in these practices and do not find them feasible for use in their classrooms. More recently, researchers have begun to examine whether teacher education may contribute to this research-to-practice gap. We contend that teacher preparation is an important contributor to the research-to-practice gap, and discuss how teacher preparation might be changed to better prepare teachers to use effective practices in inclusive classrooms. Primary changes that are needed include identifying a set of high-leverage practices that serve as the core curriculum of teacher education and using a practice-based approach to systematically prepare future teachers to use these practices.

Research To Practice Gap

Despite broad consensus that a research-to-practice gap exists in the education of students with autism, the extent of this gap has not been well studied. We surveyed 99 teachers in Ohio about their highest priority goals for students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), their approach for addressing these goals, the degree to which students had made progress, and barriers to student progress. Only half of all teachers described an approach that included any evidence-based practice (EBP). Teachers often reported inadequate progress on Individualized Education Program (IEP) goals, and that identifying and implementing effective intervention practices were barriers to progress. We found some alignment between the outcomes prioritized by teachers and those measured by researchers in the literature, although teachers more highly prioritized academic and cognitive outcomes.

Background: Social media is a driving force in the sharing of information. The purpose of this study is to describe fluoride related content on Instagram, a popular social media platform. Methods: Content categories were created and coded to better describe the nature of the posts.Data collection occurred in three sessions, two months apart. Only relevant posts that included images and had text written in the English language were included. Results: The most common topics were conspiracy theory, contained in 37.3% of posts, followed by dangers of fluoride to health (30.3%) and benefits of fluoride to teeth (28.7%). Of the posts reviewed, 96/300 (32.0%) contained pro-fluoride content while 139/300 (63.0%) posts featured anti-fluoride content. Content varied significantly between pro- and anti-fluoride posts.Conclusion: Our review of Instagram posts revealed that there were approximately 300 posts focused on fluoride related content. Of these posts, there was a higher number of anti-fluoride related content compared to pro-fluoride related content. With accessibility comes the potential for misinformation. Future efforts from medical providers need to focus on educating consumers about reliable sources for health information on the internet.

Social Programming Sites (SPSs) are social networking services for sharing software devel-opment projects on the Internet. Many open source projects are currently being developed on the SPSs. One of the characteristics of SPSs is that they provide a social media platform that encourages collaboration between developers with similar interests and goals. The article proposes an approach to the formation of a Github SPSs graph as a heterogeneous network. On the basis of this approach, the metric of determining the developers of the most used R packages is investigated.
