Level 1--"Basic" research.Are there correlations? Is there a rational explanation (theory) for these correlations?

Level 2--Test of the theory in real classrooms.

In small-scale comparative studies, does the theory accurately predict which practices will result in better learning?

Level 3--Program Evaluation on a school- or district-wide basis.

In large-scale comparative studies, does the theory predict ?

inappropriate behavior.
