Although some people view quantitative studies as more legitimate than qualitative studies, both methods are subject to bias, Iris Rotberg explains. The study’s methodological strengths and weaknesses are determined when researchers frame questions, choose samples and outcome measures, and collect data. These design decisions and their implementation are far more important determinants of research validity than are the subsequent data analyses, whether quantitative or qualitative.

Beneath the turmoil over book bans, Advanced Placement courses, and teaching about race and slavery lurks a sobering fact about historical knowledge: History is not only about what happened in the past but also about how we know it. Understanding history means grasping both substance and method. If students are asked simply to memorize information about the past, rather than investigate it, then they have learned no way to distinguish historical claims from myths, legends, and lies. The work of history teachers is to build students’ historical reasoning skills so they can determine what is true.

Anna Rosevsky Saavedra, Amie Rapaport
For many students, project-based learning (PBL) can be more engaging than more traditional instructional approaches. Over the past 15 years, Anna Saavedra and Amie Rapaport studied seven inquiry-based approaches. Their research shows that PBL has a positive effect on students’ achievement and development of important soft skills. Schools can maximize chances of success by providing expert-created, high-quality, adaptable materials; aligned professional learning opportunities; and a supportive schoolwide culture. Some of the challenges of PBL implementation include the tension between breadth and depth of content, keeping projects central to the curriculum, misalignment of standardized assessments with PBL, and financial requirements.

The lessons Angela Maiers has learned from her students prompted her to explore the importance of mattering. She discovered that being valued is not a socioemotional or mental health issue. It is rooted in biology. Maiers has written four books on the concept of mattering and unleashing individual genius in students, including Genius Matters and Classroom Habitudes. She spoke with Phi Delta Kappan about what schools get wrong about student motivation, how mattering interventions take little time but yield big results, and what gives her hope.

Motivating today’s adolescents to read is a challenge. Martha Abele Mac Iver, Marcia H. Davis, and Douglas J. Mac Iver discuss the kinds of literacy instructional practices that address what we know about adolescent motivation. They also review several evidence-based literacy interventions designed to engage and motivate adolescent readers that can potentially lead to improvements in student reading motivation and academic outcomes.

Until recently, few states offered vouchers to help families pay for private schools. But over the last two years, more states have begun enacting “universal” voucher laws, which permit any school-age child in the state to attend private schools using taxpayer funds that would or could otherwise support public education. Robert Kim and Jessica Levin discuss the legal and political trends undergirding the voucher movement and why the growth of vouchers will negatively affect public schools without offering help to the students who most need it.

Students’ valuing of academic content impacts their engagement in learning and plays a pivotal role in shaping their future academic and career choices. Fortunately, practicing educators can integrate many readily applicable strategies into teaching to enhance students’ valuing of academic content. Drawing from expectancy-value theory, Eric M. Anderman, Yue Sheng, and Wonjoon Cha present five evidence-based instructional strategies with concrete examples that aim to enhance students’ valuing of academic content. These strategies can be implemented with minimal additional work for teachers and at little or no additional financial cost to schools.
学生对学术内容的重视程度会影响他们对学习的参与度,并对他们未来的学术和职业选择起着至关重要的作用。幸运的是,教育工作者可以在教学中融入许多现成适用的策略,以提高学生对学术内容的重视程度。埃里克-M-安德曼(Eric M. Anderman)、盛玥(Yue Sheng)和车元俊(Wonjoon Cha)从期望值理论出发,以具体实例介绍了五种循证教学策略,旨在提高学生对学术内容的重视程度。这些策略在实施过程中,教师只需做极少的额外工作,学校也几乎不需要额外的财政支出。
