The author takes note of two enquiries launched by the Australian government. "One is an inquiry into what quality research in universities looks like, and how that can best be measured every year. The second is an inquiry into teacher education and whether it is sufficiently 'evidence-based' and producing competent classroom-ready teachers." And she provides the appropriate cautions: "People who think that the only issues for people who work in university education faculties are how to produce a good teacher in their first week on the job, and who think the only good research should look like a classic experiment or a randomised controlled trial, have got it wrong." Good talk; a second part is forthcoming. Via Central Ranges.
