Predicting outcomes of educational interventions before investing in large-scale implementation efforts in school settings is essential for educational policy-making. However, due to time and resource limitations, conducting longitudinal, large-scale experiments testing outcomes of interventions in authentic settings is difficult. Here, we introduce the deep learning method as a way to address this issue and illustrate the use of the deep learning method for the prediction of intervention outcomes through a MATLAB implementation. The presented deep learning method extracts predictable patterns from an empirical dataset to simulate large-scale intervention outcomes. Findings from our simulations suggest that the deep learning applied simulation model can predict intervention outcomes significantly more accurately compared to the traditional regression analysis methods.
