What is education research

Education research is the scientific field of study that examines education and learning processes and the human attributes, interactions, organizations, and institutions that shape educational outcomes. Scholarship in the field seeks to describe, understand, and explain how learning takes place throughout a person’s life and how formal and informal contexts of education affect all forms of learning. Education research embraces the full spectrum of rigorous methods appropriate to the questions being asked and also drives the development of new tools and methods

Current Trend in education research

A major revolution has taken place during the past decade in educational research and our understanding of some of the factors that directly influence learning in or out of the schools. As a result, student learning can now be improved greatly and it is possible to describe the favorable learning conditions which can enable virtually all students to learn to a high standard. Researchers who were at one time concerned about providing equality of educational opportunity for students now speak of the learning conditions which can bring about virtual equality of educational outcomes for students. And such educational outcomes are at very high levels of attainment.
