Sam Bamkin – Ethnography and Education, 2024

Sallee, Margaret W.; Flood, Julee T. – Theory Into Practice, 2012
Too often, researchers get a bad name for engaging in inquiry that is inaccessible to the practitioner and policy communities who could most benefit from it.

Whitehurst, Grover J. – Education Finance and Policy, 2012
One of the major story lines of the growth of civilization is the advance of the experiment. From the food we eat to the diseases we conquer to our understanding of how we think and behave, we have profited enormously from an approach that marries our models of the world with tests of their validity through systematic variation to determine cause…

Administrators, particularly those who engage in instructional leadership, play a key role in school improvement.

The authors use the case of one school to unpack instructional leadership as a practice, paying close…

Garrison, Jim – Educational Researcher, 1994
Responds to comments about educational research models by Ernest E. House and Cleo H. Cherryholmes with quotations from the writings of John Dewey.

Halse, Christine; Honey, Anne – Qualitative Inquiry, 2007
In this article, the authors trace the emergence of an institutional discourse of ethical research and interrogate its effects in constituting what ethical research is taken to be and how ethical researchers are configured.
