D.de Moya Summary of Themes People want to know “what works” so as to inform their decisions. The scientific quality of evidence on “what works” is variable and often poor.

A Google search on “evidence based policy” yields 132,000 links (.35 seconds). What are we to make of this? Publication Rates in Education 20,000 articles on education published each year in English language journals 2/1,000-5/1,000/year report on controlled trials of programs, policies, or practices to estimate effectiveness For every curriculum package that has been tested in a controlled trial, there are 50-80 that are claimed to be effective based on no defensible scientific evidence.
