Module 2 of the What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) Single Case Design Standards Training covers general features that are characteristic to single-case designs and describes some common single-case design variations that the WWC reviews. In this module, we cover how to assess whether a study is eligible for review as a single-case design under the What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) Single Case Design Standards.
The WWC offers this training to inform the public about our design standards, increase transparency of our review process, and promote the use of rigorous research. The purpose of this training is to describe and explain key elements of the WWC Single Case Design Standards and how the WWC uses those standards to identify high quality, rigorous research. This training series includes six modules, each focused on a different aspect of the WWC Single Case Design Standards. We recommend viewing the modules in numerical order. Start with the Introduction module, which describes the goals, topics, and organization of this training. The full set of modules is accessible at ies.ed.gov/nce....
The WWC is an investment of the Institute of Education Sciences (IES) within the U.S. Department of Education and was established in 2002. The work of the WWC is managed by a team of staff at IES and conducted under a set of contracts held by several leading firms with expertise in education, research methodology, and the dissemination of education research. For more than a decade, the WWC has been a central and trusted source of scientific evidence on education programs, products, practices, and policies. We review the research, determine which studies meet rigorous standards, and summarize the findings. We focus on high-quality research to answer the question, “What works in education?”
