This week I'm critiquing some published work to give an insight into how anyone can look at research to hold it to account.
As teachers and school leaders are begin encouraged to be research informed I think we also need to be research literate, this involves being able to evaluate whether a piece of research is 'good'. In this episode I use four criteria to evaluate Pearson's published research to answer the question: is this a good research project?
The criteria used are:
- What is the research question or aim?
- What is the methodology and method?
- Who are the participants?
- Does the evidence justify the claims?
