The Importance of Educational Research

Ho Thi Lai, M.TESOL

Abstract

This article discusses the importance of research in education. Educational research can enrich our knowledge, promote teachers’ practice and inform policy debates.

Introduction

It is not easy to understand the process of learning and teaching. Unquestionably, the success in education is influenced by many factors. Therefore, teachers need to keep informed of the latest research-based knowledge to fulfill their commitments to society. The important role of educational research is strikingly illustrated by the fact that every new widely-accepted idea for solving educational problems is evidence-based or research-based. Teachers should be both producers and consumers of educational research as it can enrich their knowledge, promote their practice and inform policy debates (Ary, Jacobs, & Razavieh, 2002; Langenbach, Vaughn, & Aagaard, 1994).
