TLDR
In this paper, the experimental tradition in educational research is examined and an attempt is made to provide a sense of the background assumptions and everyday details that are involved in the process of experimental research.Abstract:
This chapter examines the experimental tradition in educational research. With it an attempt is made to provide a sense of the background assumptions and everyday details that are involved in the process of experimental research. Of course a chapter cannot be comprehensive and this chapter is not intended to be prescriptive. Rather it is intended to be a guide an approach to thinking about experimental paradigms. Thus issues and examples are selected that are particularly relevant and helpful in the role of an experimental researcher and a teacher.read more

Effects of training in direct observation of medical residents' clinical competence: a randomized trial.
TL;DR: A cluster randomized trial involving 16 internal medicine programs evaluated a 4-day course that taught faculty direct observation methods for evaluating clinical competence, finding that better methods for training faculty in evaluation of clinical competence are urgently needed.

It’s NOT rocket science: rethinking our metaphors for research in health professions education
TL;DR: The health professional education community is struggling with a number of issues regarding the place and value of research in the field, including the role of theory‐building versus applied research; the relative value of generalisable versus contextually rich, localised solutions, and therelative value of local versus multi‐institutional research.

Can ‘art Professions’ Be Bourdieuean Fields Of Cultural Production? The Case Of The Architecture Competition
TL;DR: The difference between the artistic and literary fields and universes such as architecture usually recognized as "art professions" but which enjoy a far lesser degree of autonomy than such fields seemingly constitutes an obstacle to the broader application of the notion of a "field of cultural production" sought by Bourdieu in his Rules of Art.

The earth is round (p < .05)
TL;DR: The authors reviewed the problems with null hypothesis significance testing, including near universal misinterpretation of p as the probability that H is false, the misinterpretation that its complement is the probability of successful replication, and the mistaken assumption that if one rejects H₀ one thereby affirms the theory that led to the test.
