Declining or Waning
- Traditional Testing Methods:
Research focusing exclusively on traditional assessment methods has declined as newer, more holistic approaches to assessment, such as formative and authentic assessments, gain traction. - Purely Quantitative Studies:
While quantitative research remains important, there is a noticeable decline in studies that do not incorporate qualitative insights, as mixed-methods approaches become increasingly favored for their comprehensive understanding of educational phenomena. - Static Models of Learning:
There is a waning interest in static models that do not account for the dynamic and context-dependent nature of learning, as researchers increasingly focus on ecological and system-based perspectives. - Single-Discipline Focus:
Research that is limited to a single discipline within educational psychology is decreasing, with a trend towards interdisciplinary studies that integrate insights from multiple fields. - Overemphasis on Individual Differences:
While individual differences in learning are still important, there is a shift away from focusing solely on these factors towards understanding interactions within social and contextual frameworks.
