Scientific Research in Education
Researchers, historians, and philosophers of science have debated the nature of scientific research in education for more than 100 years. Recent enthusiasm for “evidence-based” policy and practice in education have brought a new sense of urgency to understanding the ways in which the basic tenets of science manifest in the study of education.
Scientific Research in Education describes the similarities and differences between scientific inquiry in education and scientific inquiry in other fields and disciplines and provides suggestions for how the federal government can best support high-quality scientific research.

Strategic Education Research Program Panel on Learning and Instruction
The mission of the Strategic Education Research Partnership is to promote a research enterprise that has the capacity to offer teachers, school administrators, and policy officials a well-organized and powerful knowledge base that supports their efforts to improve K-12 education.
Strategic Education Research Program: Bridging Research and Practice
The Strategic Education Research Program: Bridging Research and Practice project is Phase II of the Strategic Education Research Partnership (SERP) initiative. Its task was to design a novel structure within which knowledge derived from educational research would be made more accessible and useable for improving practice. This project would also look to make knowledge that is inherent in excellent practice more accessible to systematic and public study. In addition to explicating the mission elements of SERP and proposing organizational arrangements needed to carry out those functions, the project, through its Panel on Learning and Instruction, is continuing to develop an illustrative 15-year research agenda for one of the key research areas around which the new R&D enterprise will be organized.
