Educational Futures

Abstract

The final chapter seeks to bring together the findings from key spheres of research. The research evidence is summarised under five broad areas: the learning process; goals and assessment; skills and attitudes; educational myths, the research process in education. In drawing together the findings, the agenda for future research is also suggested. In this, there is a need for a close partnership between teachers and researchers while it is critical that education policy is underpinned by the findings from research evidence. The overall goal of all educational research is to enhance education for the next generation. The ways by which that research is undertaken need radical overhaul. Highly organized research is guaranteed to produce nothing new. Frank Herbert
