On Faith and Microscopes: Methodological Lenses for Learning about Learning.
Singer, Judith D.
Review of Educational Research, v63 n3 p353-64 Fall 1993
Expresses doubts about whether the evidence presented by M. Wang, G. Haertel, and H. Walberg provides robust and consistent findings that could, or should, be used to inform educational policy and practice. Discusses five questions about the methodology of the study, and indicates that basing educational policy on their findings would be merely an act of faith. (SLD)
