How Have Trends in Education Research Evolved over the Past 50 Years?

History is who we are and why we are the way we are.

David McCullough, American Historian

Education as a professional field and academic discipline has historically evolved and responded to social, economic, and technological changes. This book provides the first comprehensive analysis of research trends in education spanning from 1970 to 2020. In this undertaking, we have divided our treatment into four major subdisciplines of education research:

• teaching and teacher education,
• educational technology,
• educational psychology, and
• higher education.
