Description

Paula J. Stanovich & Keith E. Stanovich. In a move toward standards-based reform in public educ., many educ’l. reform efforts require schools to demonstrate that they are achieving educational outcomes with students performing at a required level of achievement. Testing provides a useful calibrator, but it requires contextual sensitivity in interpretation. This report shows how research-based & reason-based educ’l. practice are also crucial for determining the quality & impact of programs. Teachers can develop the skills to recognize scientifically based practice &, when the evidence is not avail., use basic research concepts to draw conclusions on their own. Here is a primer for those skills that will allow teachers to become independent evaluators of educational research.
