Seth A. Parsons, Margaret Vaughn, Roya Qualls Scales, Melissa A. Gallagher, Allison Ward Parsons, Stephanie G. Davis, Melissa Pierczynski, & Melony Allen. (2018). “Teachers’ Instructional Adaptations: A Research Synthesis.” Review of Educational Research, 88(2), 205–242.
The elements of an outstanding research review include significance of the contribution to advancing knowledge, transparency of the methods, scope of research included in the review, and uniqueness in addressing new or novel bodies of research or integrating distinctive areas. In this article, the authors review the research literature on adaptive teaching. They describe how adaptive teaching is defined and conceptualized in education research from 1975 to 2014, the methods used to study instructional adaptations, and results of these studies. The authors present a model that depicts the complex, cyclical, and multidimensional nature of adaptive teaching, developed on the basis of their research synthesis. The article clearly describes the authors’ procedures for conducting the review and their criteria for evaluating studies that used a variety of methodological approaches. The authors identify unresolved questions and provide suggestions for future research. They also offer thoughtful suggestions for teachers, school leaders, and teacher educators.
