Discussion and implications The evaluation process.  Indicators of good research.  Quality in educational science. Realism Idealism Optimistic Pessimistic

Discussion and implications Policy of scientific and scholarly publication: 1. present new insight 2. in a form that allows the research findings to be verified and/or used in new research activity 3. in a language and with a distribution that makes the publication accessible for a relevant audience 4. in a publication channel with peer review.

Finally after a fortnight, there he was proudly perched at the top of the tree Soon he was spotted by a farmer Who promptly shot the turkey out of the tree.

LESSON 2 Moral of the story: Bullshit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there. o
