A Look Back: What Kappan readers have learned about learning

Abstract

This exploration of Phi Delta Kappan’s archives shows how the magazine has explored education research and science across its 100 volumes. Articles have advocated better research and a stronger connection between research and practice, while celebrating strides that have been made. Kappan has also presented multiple perspectives on the value of neuroscience to education, with some authors recommending a brain-based approach and others expressing skepticism about how the research is being interpreted and applied.
