Episode Synopsis

Education research, from technology to instruction to design, too often uses an instrumentalist approach that assumes the right tool or trick will simply solve a problem. Jason McDonald joins to talk about the need for entangled research that actually changes both the researcher and the system for the better.

Later, we read The Opportunity Makers and reflect on how some important flaws put key findings at odds with most other educational research.
