Description (written by WestEd)
This article provides an overview of scientifically based research along with an explanation of why scientifically based research is important. The author asserts that there is some concern in the educational community about who will determine what research qualifies as "scientifically based." In addition, the author is apprehensive about the narrow definition of scientifically based research and the danger that the process may become politicized.
