Implementation in Mathematics Education: Fidelity to Implementation Design and Fidelity to Innovation Theory

What is it about?

The concept of fidelity is important to the implementation of mathematics education innovations. Fidelity is often viewed as following the implementation plan closely and using materials and activities in the way set out. However, viewing fidelity as only on adherence to protocols and planned activities may mean that the importance of the core idea of how change will happen is missed. This paper puts forward an expanded understanding of fidelity to address this.
