Culture, Rigor, and Science in Educational Research.
Erickson, Frederick; Gutierrez, Kris
Educational Researcher, v31 n8 p21-24 Nov 2002
Asserts that both the Feuer, Towne, and Shavelson article on scientific culture and educational research and the recent National Research Council (NRC) report must be understood in the context of current federal discourse focused on experimentally derived causal explanations of educational program effectiveness. Notes that the NRC report risks being read as endorsing both the possibility and desirability of taking an evidence-based social engineering approach to educational improvements nationwide. (SM)
