Comments on Slavin: Through the Looking Glass: Experiments, Quasi-Experiments, and the Medical Model

Finbarr Sloane

Associate professor in the Mary Lou Fulton College of Education, Division of Curriculum and Instruction, Arizona State University; Finbarr.Sloane{at}asu.edu. His research focuses on the learning of mathematics, methodology, and the modeling of student mathematical development in multilevel contexts.

Slavin (2008) has called for changing the criteria used for the inclusion of basic research in national research synthesis clearinghouses. The author of this article examines a number of the assumptions made by Slavin, provides critique with alternatives, and asks what it means to fully implement the medical model in educational settings.

Key Words: construct validity • critique • external validity • fixed and random effects • group-randomized experiments • quasi-experiments • randomized experiments
