Education scholarship is essential for the promotion of faculty and for investigating and disseminating new educational practices. With very little faculty development devoted to research, educators often fall behind on scholarship. It is key for them to be able to identify well-designed study questions, situated within appropriate conceptual frameworks, and to develop outcomes that strike a balance between feasibility, meaning, and importance.
