Education's Research Problem
Willingham, Daniel T.; Rotherham, Andrew J.
Educational Leadership, v77 n8 p70-75 May 2020
The education field, these authors assert, often alternatively ignores, belittles, or "weaponizes" scientific findings and evidence relevant to education. They show examples of how education does a worse job than other fields at either rushing to apply approaches without enough evidence of effectiveness or "underdelivering"--not using approaches backed by evidence. Other reasons educators struggle to tap into evidence (such as a refusal to openly discuss values) are explored.
