Replication in educational interventions: developing a tool to measure and promote fidelity

Terezinha Nunes & Gabriel Stylianides, University of Oxford    |   27th January 2025, 3:00 - 4:30pm  

Location: Donald McIntyre Building, Room GS4

Abstract: The impact of many interventions weakens during the scaling up process, often due to low implementation fidelity (i.e., delivering an intervention inconsistently with its intended design). In this presentation we will discuss a framework for developing tools that aim to measure and promote implementation fidelity. We will illustrate the use of the framework in the context of our work on the Improving Working Memory Plus Arithmetic (IWM+A) intervention, scaled in a randomized controlled trial across 201 schools. Additionally, we will discuss our ongoing work to evaluate the moderator role of implementation fidelity in replicating the intervention’s outcomes during scaling up.
