Analyzed practitioner evaluations regarding the translation and generalizability of randomized trial outcomes into heterogeneous classroom environments.
Educators recognized significant limitations in applying uniform experimental trial findings to complex, diverse real-world settings.
Practitioners approached evidence-based policy claims with considerably greater skepticism than policymakers due to substantial real-world heterogeneity.
