Making education policy a focus of learning research
Dr. Sharon Nichols guest edits a special issue on education policy, and talks about it on a podcast
Education policy matters. But many learning researchers aren’t sure whether or how to study it. And many researchers wish their work was better reflected in education policy. Dr. Sharon Nichols has guest edited a special issue of Educational Psychologist on those very topics, with great articles by several prominent learning researchers who do policy work. In addition, she talked about the special issue on the latest episode of the American Psychological Association’s Division 15 Podcast on Emerging Research in Educational Psychology. The podcast is a great way to learn more about education policy work and the special issue. Hope you check them out!
