Evidence‐based reviews are a type of systematic literature review used to identify evidence‐based practices. When conducting an evidence‐based review, researchers apply predetermined standards to identify evidence‐based practices—practices that have been shown to reliably improve an outcome for a population of learners, according to evidence from a body of rigorous, experimental studies. In this article, we describe evidence‐based reviews, provide an overview of one set of evidence standards used in special education, and describe important caveats and considerations related to evidence‐based reviews. We conclude with two examples of evidence‐based reviews in the field of learning disabilities. Our take‐home message is that evidence‐based reviews are a trustworthy approach for identifying generally effective instructional practices—but no practices, not even evidence‐based practices, are effective for all learners.

基于证据的评论：如何系统地识别基于证据的实践

循证审查是一种系统的文献综述，用于识别循证实践。当进行严格的实验研究时，研究人员在进行基于证据的审查时，会应用预定的标准来识别基于证据的实践，这些实践已被证明可以可靠地提高学习者的学习效果。在本文中，我们描述了基于证据的评论，概述了特殊教育中使用的一组证据标准，并描述了与基于证据的评论有关的重要警告和注意事项。我们以学习障碍领域基于证据的评论的两个例子作为结尾。
