Research Based
The term “research-based” is used to show that a particular program, methodology, or procedure has empirical evidence to verify or refute its use within an educational setting. In this definition, empirical indicates that the research is verified or refuted based on the opinion of experienced/qualified practitioners. Evidence is based on data gathered through observations, pretests/post-tests, control and experimental groups, and other bona fide research methods. The empirical evidence should be able to withstand scrutiny from a legitimate peer review before it is used within an educational setting.
