“Why “What Works” Won’t Work: Evidence-Based Practice and the Democratic Deficit in Educational Research”Biesta
2007
Biesta unpacks the criticisms and limits of “what works” in what we call evidence-based educational research and practice to understand why “the dynamics of education are fundamentally different from the dynamics, of, say, potato growing or chemistry” and calls for a move toward a “values-based” model of education.
