Declining or Waning
- Traditional Teaching Methods:
There has been a noticeable decrease in research focused on traditional teaching methods, as the field shifts towards innovative, technology-enhanced pedagogies. - Standardized Testing:
The discourse surrounding standardized testing and its effectiveness has diminished, likely due to a growing emphasis on holistic and formative assessment approaches. - General Teacher Professional Development:
While professional development remains a topic of interest, the focus has shifted from general training programs to more specific, evidence-based practices and targeted interventions. - Homogeneity in Educational Research:
Research that lacks diversity in perspectives or focuses on homogeneous populations is declining, as the field increasingly values studies that consider varied cultural and socio-economic contexts. - Behaviorist Approaches:
