The Awful Reputation of Education Research

Title: The Awful Reputation of Education Research
Abstract/Description: Surveys 32 officials of federal agencies and educational researchers to express historically grounded judgments on issues in educational research, including the poor reputation of the field. Criticisms that recur are that it does not pay off, that the community is in disarray, and that the field is politicized. (SLD)
