The author draws on the natural and social sciences to illustrate differences and interactions between applied and basic research in education. From this discussion he concludes that there is ample justification for further financial and intellectual support of the basic research component in education, and calls for a better balance in the support of basic and applied educational research.

Recent texts on globalisation and education policy refer to the rapid flow of education policy texts producing or responding to common trends across nation states with the emergence of new knowledge economies. These educational policies are shaping what counts as research and the dynamics between research, policy, and practice in schools, creating new types of relationships between universities, the public, the professions, government, and industry. The trend to evidence-based policy and practice in Australian schools is used to identify key issues within wider debates about the ‘usefulness’ of educational research and the role of universities and university-based research in education in new knowledge economies.

Predicting students’ academic performance has long been an important area of research in education. Most existing literature have made use of traditional statistical methods that run into the problems of overfitted models, inability to effectively handle large numbers of participants and predictors, and inability to pick out non-linearities that may be present. Regression-based ML methods that can produce highly interpretable yet accurate models for new predictions, are able to provide some solutions to the aforementioned problems. The present study is the first study that develops and compares between traditional MLR methods and regression-based ML methods (i.e. ridge regression, LASSO regression, elastic net, and regression trees) to predict students’ science performance in the PISA 2015. A total of 198,712 students from 60 countries, and 66 student- and school-related predictors were used to develop the predictive models. Predictive accuracy of the various models built were not that different, however, there were significant differences in the predictors identified as most important by the different methods. Although regression-based ML techniques did not outperform traditional MLR, significant advantages for using ML methods were noted and discussed. Moving forward, we strongly believe that there is merit for using such regression-based ML methods in educational research. Educational research can benefit from adopting ML practices and methods to produce models that can not only be used for explaining factors that influence academic performance prediction, but also for making more accurate predictions on unseen data.

La ética en la investigación educativa constituye un factor fundamental que debe ser considerado para la realización de estudios que incluyan la participación de diversos sujetos. Los investigadores deben enfrentarse a escenarios complejos y cumplir con una serie de pautas nacionales e internacionales que tienen como propósito respetar los derechos de las personas que se someten al proceso de investigación en el ámbito educativo. Por esta razón, existen los instrumentos internacionales y tienen como elementos primordiales los principios éticos que incluyen consideraciones sobre la persona, para impedir que sea un simple objeto estudiado. Sin embargo, en la actividad indagativa se presentan diferentes problemas éticos que están relacionados con los participantes, el incorrecto uso de la investigación, el investigador, el plagio y la utilización de datos falsos. En relación al acto ético en la investigación educativa, los educadores han de efectuar responsablemente sus estudios sin perjudicar a ningún ser humano. El objetivo de este trabajo de revisión bibliográfica, es describir la importancia de la ética en la investigación educativa.   Palabras clave: ética de la investigación, investigación educativa, principios éticos. ABSTRACT Ethics in educational research is a fundamental factor that should be considered for the realization ofstudies that include the participation of diverse subjects. Researchers must face complex scenarios andcomplete it with a series of national and international guidelines that are intended to respect the rightsof people who undergo the research process specifically in the field of education. For this reason, thereare international instruments and their main elements are ethical principles that include considerationsabout the person, to prevent it from being a simple object studied. However, in the inquiry activity thereare different ethical problems that are related to the participants, the incorrect use of the research, theresearcher, the plagiarism and the use of false data. In relation to the ethical act in educational research,educators must responsibly conduct their studies without harming any human being. The results affirmthat the ethics applied to the research in education provides to the investigators theoretical,methodological and normative foundations on the moral to achieve the development of the inquiringprocess in a coherent way. The objective of this work of bibliographical review is to describe theimportance of the ethics in educational research.

It is obviously impossible to give a complete summary of arithmetic research in the brief time allocated for this paper. Periodic summaries of the research in arithmetic are available in such magazines as the Elementary School Journal and in the Review of Educational Research. In many cases these reviews are accompanied by comments which point out the lacunae left by the uncoordinated attack on research problems in arithmetic. In many instances, these comments are particularly pertinent to the topic of this paper. It will be my purpose to bring in many of the points of view expressed in these well-known summaries and bring them to bear upon the organization and learning problems in the field of arithmetic.
