Education research has problems

Head fed education researcher agrees

"Far too much education research—including much of it that is done in universities—is driven by the interest and theories of the researchers themselves and not the needs and problems of practice."

"That has to change."

John Q. Easton, Director, Institute of Education Sciences, US Department of Education

Quoted in Education Week’s “Inside School Research” blog
