Abstract

A debate currently occurring in the research community centers around what qualifies as "high quality" education research. This discussion was prompted by the U. S. Department of Education's challenge to consider only "scientifically based research" in their funding and policies. This article outlines some of the issues related to this topic. It concludes with an invitation for interested researchers to continue this conversation.
