What Knowledge Base?

Elmore, Richard F.

Review of Educational Research, v63 n3 p314-18 Fall 1993

Asserts that reviews like that of M. Wang, G. Haertel, and H. Walberg are stimulating and useful in thinking about educational research, but they are nearly useless in thinking about educational policy and practice. It is not clear what is meant by "knowledge base," and the finding about proximal and distal variables is simplistic. (SLD)
