Reflections by a Research-Based Teacher Educator
http://www.nwrel.org/nwedu/09-04/holder.php

  • According to one researcher, causality, and specifically the use of experimental designs, can be very powerful when which three conditions are met?
  • Why are these conditions difficult to meet within the field of education?
  • The author of this article believes that "a balance is needed between research generated to explain causal relationships (typically quantitative) and research generated to be explorative (typically qualitative)." Why are both types of research beneficial? What types of knowledge do we gain from these different approaches to research?
  • The No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) mandates that educational practices are supported by scientifically based research. Discuss the concerns this author has about what constitutes "scientific" research.
