Empirische Bildungsforschung und evidenzbasierte Bildungspolitik: Zum Zusammenhang von Wissenschaftskommunikation und Evidenzbasierung in der Bildungsforschung

This paper discusses opportunities as well as constraints of evidence based policy and evidence based practice in education. Expectations held by different strands of the public (policy makers, teachers, parents) are discussed as constraint of the underlying educational research. Furthermore, such expectations constrain the communication between researchers and the public (a case of science communication). Communicating empirical evidence is a precondition for any evidence based policy in education.
