I am highly literate in mathematical thinking and scientific thinking. Which is exactly why i recognize that lots of quantitative positivistic (not all is positivistic) research on education is flawed or useless in terms of providing insight
It is not that ppl don’t understand the research – it is that quite often the research does not provide any deep insight into what is being studied
More about misuse or abuse than impossibility of it ever being used well if u know what i mean
I admire how Justin Reich critiques his own work for example on edx
