Question
Asked 12th Nov, 2015
Anybody know of research that evaluates the effect of intervention (reading instruction) from the teachers point of view (social validity)?
I am looking for research that combines effects of intervention (i.e RCT with reading instruction) with measures from teachers, students and parents views of the usefulness of the intervention. Clearly, the majority of effect studies limits the evidence of the effect of the intervention with learning outcomes (measured by standard tests) I am looking for studies that use multiple measures, including subjective data. Also, I am particularly interested in studies of reading instruction.

Glad it was useful Thomas.
I am currently wresting with a similar question. I plan to see if Reading Comprehension can be supported by Advanced organisers. The scope of my study will limit the amount of useful Quantitative data I can collect, but I plan to try and measure student perceptions of the task through questionnaires.
I particularly want to see if students with Dyslexia find the process more accessible and successful and may interview them in addition to the questionnaire.
As always, it is a challenge to try and say things which are meaningful and generalisable about imprecise and difficult-to-measure feelings!

There is no lack of research, but very hard to help with such a general focus! I am good with boolean phrases on search engines, but not that good! If you give me a slightly more precise area I will be happy to make a better search!
But just in case this is a useful starting position, I did dig up this one:

I suspect this may work for you, as a lot of the RTI research in Europe has come out of Scandinavia!

I've two article; perhaps they could also be of help. They are basically on reading instruction.

Thomas:
The use of Facebook as a tool for helping students develop their English language skills can possibly give an idea of how Social Media can be used in a social context by the teacher and students. The latter is on-going research, so we don't have all the results:

Jonathan: Thank you, the article was excellent with a mixed method approach. This is what I have been looking for. In my own research, I am looking for methods of evaluating the usefulness of instruction among special teachers. The challenge for me is to use quantitative data from the teachers and to combine those with student growth data. That is essentially my work ahead. If you have other articles within that scope, I am grateful
Medadi: Thank you. I am not sure I can use those articles, but I found them interesting in a broader sense
Debra: Interesting approach in learning to read a secondary language Do the SM approach add effects that traditional learning fail to do?
