Vig, Rozy; Taylor, Megan W.; Star, Jon R.; Chao, Theodore – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2014
The concept of "implementation fidelity" is broadly used to capture the extent to which an intervention is executed as intended by the designers of the intervention (Century, Rudnick, & Freeman, 2010; Huntley, 2005, McNaught, Tarr, & Sears, 2010, Munter, 2010). Though implementation fidelity instruments are often used to assess…
