Scientific Validation of a Set of Instruments Measuring Fidelity of Implementation (FOI) of Reform-Based Science and Mathematics Instructional Materials
Careful description and measurement of fidelity of implementation is essential in order to know which components of reform-based mathematics and science programs bolster or hinder student performance, or to determine the differential effects of incomplete or incorrect implementation of instructional materials. The determination of whether instructional materials have been adequately and faithfully implemented necessitates reliable and valid indicators of the extent, quality, and type of the ...
