A new report from the Department of Education and the National Science Foundation explains how
the two agencies hope to realize the full potential of their education research and development
investments—including obtaining meaningful findings and actionable results—through a more
systematic development of knowledge. The report describes six types of research studies that can
generate evidence about how to increase student learning, including those that generate the most
fundamental understandings related to education and learning; examinations of associations between
variables; iterative design and testing of strategies or interventions; and assessments of the impact of a
fully-developed intervention on an education outcome.
