Title
The Importance of Research in the Quest for Excellence and Equity in Education
Session Type
Plenary Speech
Abstract
Applied educational research is most significant when it addresses important problems of practice. More research is needed on instructional improvement, clarity of learning outcomes, and needs of the learner—critical factors in assuring excellence in educational practice. Further, there is a need for more research on educational equity, namely the study of what factors are most important in assuring that all learners have the maximum opportunity for success regardless of background factors such as ethnicity, gender, and income level. In this presentation, Dr. Larry Daniel focuses on steps educational researchers can take to assure their research is relevant in terms of educational excellence and equity. Examples will be provided from research at all levels from preschool through adult education. (44 minutes)
