Abstract:

This article presents a definition and rationale for evidence-based reform in education, and contrasts the development of educational research in the U.S., U.K. and China, world leaders in evidence-based reform. Building the understanding of current evidence-based policies should help all countries learn how evidence can play a greater role in education policy. The article suggests ways in which scholars might improve the worldwide quality of evidence-based reform in education.

Key words: evidence-based reform in education, experiments, international comparisons, meta-analysis, research designs
