The question of how education research can be 'useful' is an enduring and challenging one. In recent years, this question has been approached by universities through a widespread 'impact' agenda.

Conaway, Carrie – Education Finance and Policy, 2020
Research influences policy more often than much of the academic community thinks, and more frequently every day. But its influence is less linear than researchers expect, and it is driven as much by relationships and organizational capacity as by the actual information studies produce.

In their essay, "Why Assessment Will Never Work...," Bacon and Stewart (2016) recommend that instead of carrying out the expensive process of experimenting themselves, many business schools would get a bigger bang for their buck if they used "published pedagogical studies that use direct measures of learning with sufficient…

Nesteruk, Jeffrey – Journal of Management Education, 2017
The question of how to assess the value of what professors do should engage all. Within this context, Donald R. Bacon and Kim A. Stewart's (2016) essay, "Why Assessment Will Never Work at Many Business Schools," is a laudable effort with important insights. In this rejoinder, Nesteruk, for the most part, is in substantial agreement with…

Epstein's portrayal of evidence-based practice (EBP) as practitioner-bashing and treasuring intervention manuals overlooks the emphasis in the EBP process on the need for…
