In this episode, Melissa & Ryan chat with Dr. Benjamin Motz and Dr. Mary Murphy about experimental research and the Terracotta Project. They discuss the need for tools like Terracotta to improve the evidence base in education and the challenges of conducting educational research.
Terracotta, an open-source LMS plugin, enables teachers to manipulate different versions of assignments and measure their impact on student outcomes, offering transformative value and fostering collaboration and equity in educational research.
The conversation highlights the importance of research infrastructure that allows teachers and districts to conduct their own studies, promoting the collection of granular data to understand diverse educational interventions. The guests discuss the influence of mindset cultures on student motivation and engagement, the potential for AI to enhance learning experiences, and the necessity of bottom-up approaches with fewer administrative obstacles in education innovation.
