One of the things I would like to spend some time on this year is the whole area of academic research. Because I think the word 'Business' could be replaced with the word 'Education' in the title of this post. Here's Aldrich on business research: "The big problem is that most business research relies on the same faulty intellectual constructs as other forms of linear content- it relies on linear analysis, case studies, and inspirational examples." This, though, means articulating what you want educational research to do, what you want education to do. It's hard thinking, and can't be resolved with slogans, but needs to be done.
