Becoming Critical Consumers of Research: Understanding Replication

Special educators are tasked with understanding and implementing evidence-based practices. The purpose of this article is to highlight the salient features of replication in special education research and explain how practitioners can use this knowledge to become critical consumers of research. To do this we describe replication, emphasize the importance of understanding replication in special education research, provide a list of questions for consumers of research, explain the process of replication using an example, and offer resources for critical consumers to access.
