I've always been slightly sceptical of the way that educational research is used indiscriminately at times, or more likely in error. Sometimes, one aspect of the research is seized on, and is then used in a different way to the way it was originally intended, or out of context with the original purpose. Cherry picking happens a lot (including by me of course...)
One of the leading names in educational research, who is often quoted is Dylan Wiliam.
I've used his research findings myself, way back in 2010, when I was writing online courses for the Teacher Learning Academy (TLA) while working for the Geographical Association.
This TES piece by Dylan from the 30th of May outlines my thinking on the matter nicely.
