Title: (How much) Can we reasonably expect research to improve teaching and learning?

Abstract: Can research tell us ‘what works’ in education? The basic premises of natural science research may not align well with the phenomena of schooling, in that generalizability, replicability, and treatment control may not make sense. Interpretivistic qualitative research generally has a distant relationship to interventionism. In this talk, I describe some of the types of knowledge we can generate that can improve teaching and learning, including design-based research and design-based implementation research, and try to compare this to what society expects of education research.
