A school-wide approach to cultural responsivity and student engagement: A randomized trial of Double Check in middle schools
该研究通过41所初中的随机对照试验,评估了全校性Double Check模型对教师文化回应性自我效能、教学支持和学生参与的影响,发现对部分课堂管理策略和学生行为有显著效果,但未影响文化回应性实践和停学率。
The present study reports findings from a school-level randomized controlled trial (RCT) of the Double Check cultural responsivity and student engagement model. Consistent with the focus of this special issue on the conceptual and methodological advances for understanding contextual, identity, and cultural effects in intervention research, we report outcomes of the multi-component, school-wide Double Check model, testing the combined impacts of school-wide data-based decision-making along with staff professional development on school-level discipline, culturally responsive practices, classroom contextual factors, and classroom coaching using the Double Check version of the Classroom Check-up. The results from the 41 middle-school RCT indicated significant impacts on proximal outcomes of culturally responsive teacher self-efficacy, observations of instructional support, and indicators of student engagement, but no effect on other intended outcomes (e.g., observations of culturally responsive practices, suspensions). Findings suggest an effect of the Double Check on select teachers' classroom management strategies and student behaviors moderated by key classroom contextual factors. The contextual findings suggest implications for future tailoring of Double Check coaching supports in classrooms with low levels of tier 1 PBIS supports and high levels of disruptive student behavior.
