The Strategic Education Research Program and the Public Value of Research

Department of Language and Literacy Education at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada V6T 1Z4; e-mail: john.willinsky{at}ubc.ca

The National Research Council seeks to obtain considerable federal funding for its proposal to improve student learning through its Strategic Education Research Program. With its focus on the effective translation of research into practice, however, the proposal fails to acknowledge or develop the public and professional value of research as a source of understanding, reflection, and action. In an effort to extend the proposal in this direction, this article presents the educational, political, and technological arguments for making the knowledge at issue more widely available and accessible, with an eye to increasing educational research’s contribution to the quality of public reason and deliberative democracy.
