1those involved in the process of implementing an intervention are referred to as:Stakeholders
2Stakeholders can Include:teachers, administrators, community leaders, parents, and students
3When evaluating research, the three hierarchical roles of a school psychologist are:1. Consumer
2. Distributor
3. Conductor
4What does a Consumer do?Competently reads and interprets research
5What does a distributor do?Summarizes appropriate research in order to draw conclusions for interested groups in a school system
6What does a conductor do?Competently performs relevant research.
7Experimental designmanipulating independent variable; studying cause and effect relationships
8correlational designNon-experimental; looks at associations between variables and not causality
9Statistical significanceprobability that the results occurred by chance

12How do you establish a well defined focus for distributing research?Consider general topics and where they overlap. For example, a school psychologist may study a broad type of intervention and then study the efficacy of that intervention in different subjects or amongst different populations; develop one or two conclusions based on the integration of all findings
13What are some important aspects of competently conducting researchCollaborate with other professionals if necessary to to formulate specific testable questions based on problems encountered in the field and pick a design that is appropriate for the setting, the resources available, and the questions being asked
14Criterion Referenced Teststranslate test scores into a statement about the behavior to be expected of a person with that score or their relationship to a specified subject matter. (i.e. the student will be able to complete a certain task, meet a certain criteria)
15Norm Referenced TestDetermines a person's position in a population, can compare a person to their peers
16Quantitative research is characterized by use of statistical analysis. It has 3 basic purposes:
17Quantitative Descriptive researchanswers questions about variables’ status through numerical descriptions.
18Comparative researchexamines numerical descriptions of two or more variables and makes decisions about their differences or relationships.
19Experimental researchdraws conclusions about influence of one or more variables on another.
20Independent VariableInfluencing Variable
21Dependent VariableActed Upon Variable
22When is a T test used?When you want to know if their is a significant differences between only two sets of data (IV) in terms of their effect on the dependent variable (e.g. male/female)
23When is an ANOVA used?When you want to know if their is a significant differences between only two OR MORE sets of data (IV) in terms of their effect on the dependent variable (e.g. upper, middle, and lower class)
24The six steps in problem analysis
25Maintaining VariableCurrently Occurring and Influencing the Problem
26Causal Variable in Problem AnalysisMay have already existed prior to identification of problem in a classroom setting. Could include lack of exposure to a similar setting and demand, personal experiences, etc.
