In the new century, the quantity and quality of empirical education research in China have been greatly improved, and more people are paying attention to and engaging in evidence-based research and practice in education. In this context, Professor Robert Slavin, a wellknown expert in evidence-based education at Johns Hopkins University in the United States, contributed greatly to the guidance and assistance to the development of evidence-based education in China. He clarified some vague understandings of Chinese scholars on the research and reform of evidence-based education, trained and instructed Chinese scholars and students, and built a platform for exchanges between Chinese and foreign scholars, which has played an inestimable role in promoting the development of evidence-based education in China.\u003Cbr>Best Evidence in Chinese Education 2021; 8(1):1021-1028.\u003Cbr>Doi: 10.15354/bece.21.or30. |\n| --- |\n| How to Cite: Yao, J.

This situation leads to a single academic research paradigm, insufficient scientific characteristics, and disconnection be-  \ntween theory and practice. Meanwhile, China’s educational practice and reform are mainly based on experience rather than scientific evidence, which make decisionmaking and practice often biased. It is difficult for principals and teachers to get the guidance of policies and research based on scientific evidence to effectively improve the efficiency of management and teaching.  \nSince the beginning of the new century, this situation has been greatly improved. On the one hand, educational decision-making departments have paid more and more attention to the role of scientific research in the process of educational reform and development, and vigorously promoted educational scientific research from the system and management level. In October 2019, the Ministry of Education of China promulgated the “Opinions of the Ministry of Education on Strengthening Educational Scientific Research in the New Era”(The Policy and Regulations Department, the Ministry of Education, China, [2019] No. 16) . It is required to further innovate the scientific research paradigms and methods, with particular emphasis on the requirement of“strengthening empirical research, insisting on facts and evidence as the basis, and continuously tracking major issues, focusing on long-term and systematic research”. This reflects a strong sense of evidence at the national level. On the other hand, in terms of the transformation of China’s education research, it has become a consensus in China’s education field to vigorously strengthen empirical research in recent years. In 2015, East China Normal University held the first National Edu","cbCaicrrBifBlgHl","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicrrBifBlgHl","pdf",240756,"English","# Abstract\n# The Status Quo of the Development of Evidence-Based Education in China\n## Shift from qualitative research to evidence-based approaches\n## National policy and institutional initiatives","[{\"question\":\"What role did Professor Robert Slavin play in advancing evidence-based education in China?\",\"answer\":\"He provided guidance and assistance for the development of evidence-based education in China by clarifying misunderstandings, training researchers and students, and facilitating exchanges between Chinese and foreign scholars.\"},{\"question\":\"Why did China’s education research need to change according to the article?\",\"answer\":\"It had focused heavily on qualitative and speculative work, leading to limited scientific characteristics, a gap between theory and practice, and decision-making that relied more on experience than scientific evidence.\"},{\"question\":\"What developments supported the growth of empirical research in education in China?\",\"answer\":\"The article highlights increasing attention to scientific research, requirements emphasized in national policy, and major academic forums and declarations that promoted empirical research and paradigm transformation.\"}]","Professor Slavin and the Development of Evidence-Based Education in China | PDF",1792080323,20,{"code":4,"msg":82,"data":99},[100,104,108,112,116,121,126,129,133,136,140],{"id":22,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":101,"show_sort_weight":102,"slug":103},"Story & Novel",90,"story-novel",{"id":26,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":105,"show_sort_weight":106,"slug":107},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":33,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":109,"show_sort_weight":110,"slug":111},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":55,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":113,"show_sort_weight":114,"slug":115},"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":117,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":118,"show_sort_weight":119,"slug":120},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":122,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":123,"show_sort_weight":124,"slug":125},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":86,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":29,"show_sort_weight":127,"slug":128},30,"research-report",{"id":130,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":131,"show_sort_weight":97,"slug":132},9,"Religion & Spirituality","religion-spirituality",{"id":97,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":134,"show_sort_weight":97,"slug":135},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":137,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":138,"show_sort_weight":137,"slug":139},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":141,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":142,"show_sort_weight":55,"slug":143},19,"General","general"]
