Declining or Waning

While the Teachers College Record has consistently focused on pressing educational issues, certain themes have seen a decline in prominence over recent years. This shift may reflect changing priorities in educational research, as well as the evolving landscape of educational needs and challenges.
  1. Traditional Assessment Practices:
    Research focused on traditional assessment methods and standardized testing has decreased, as there is a growing recognition of their limitations and the need for more holistic and equitable assessment approaches.
