MC Keynote B, A Critical Evaluation of Education Research and Scholarship
Keynote Speaker
Contribution
Miller (1999) asserts that “all disciplines produce lax or ineffective research, but some academics say that education scholarship is especially lacking in rigor and practical focus on achievement… Research on the effectiveness of (education) reforms is often weak, inconclusive, or missing altogether.” There is an ongoing discussion on whether or not education is a “typical science” in terms of its methodology, theory building, and ability to address practical problems of society and schools. In this respect, this keynote address is intended to be a critical evaluation of education scholarship.
