Design Research in Education: Yes, but is it Methodological? (2004, methodology): “(p. 313) Equally, one does not want to demonize those who are thoughtful about the use of methods such as randomized trials (see Mosteller & Boruch, 2002), techniques against which design study methods are wrongly pitted.”

Evaluating the Quality of Evidence from Correlational Research for Evidence-Based Practice (2005, background): “…evidence-based practice in medicine (see Sackett, Straus, Richardson, Rosenberg, & Haynes, 2000), psychology (see Chambless, 1998), and education (Mosteller & Boruch, 2002; Shavelson & Towne, 2002) also reflect the 181Exceptional Children 182 Winter 2005 necessity for standards with which to…”
Strategies for Improving Precision in Group-Randomized Experiments (2007, background): “Similarly, during the 1990s, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services started supporting randomized trials to determine which drug prevention programs and other risk reduction programs were effective (Bloom, 2005; Mosteller & Boruch, 2002).”
Reconsidering evidence-based policy: Key issues and challenges (2010, background): “Evidence-based interventions associated with the EBP approach have been most carefully pursued in areas such as education (e.g. Mosteller & Boruch, 2002; Zigler & Styfco, 2004), social welfare (e.g. Cannon & Kilburn, 2003; Roberts, 2005), criminology (e.g. France & Homel, 2007; Sherman, Farrington,…”
Perspectives on Evidence-Based Research in Education—What Works? Issues in Synthesizing Educational Program Evaluations (2008, background): “Because of Institute of Education Sciences policies favoring randomized experiments, there are now dozens of experiments in the field, and these show that such studies are feasible (see Borman, 2002; Boruch, 2006; Cook, 2001; Mosteller & Boruch, 2002).”
Evidence-Based Education Policies: Transforming Educational Practice and Research (2002, background): “Recently, OERI’s director, Grover Whitehurst (2002) and other educational researchers (see, for example, Mosteller & Boruch, 2002) have been arguing that nothing less than randomized experiments will do for evaluations of educational interventions and policies.”
