Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#21 Tone Kvernbekk | Evidence-based Practice?

Q: How can pedagogical thought experiments cultivate responsibility in teachers?

Thought experiments encourage systematic consideration of multiple factors, potential outcomes, and contingency planning, making teachers better prepared for unpredictable responses and helping foster responsible judgment.

#21 Tone Kvernbekk | Evidence-based Practice?

Q: What four models for bringing evidence from randomized controlled trials into practice did you discuss in Practitioner's Tale?

The four models provide different ways to translate research into practice; the dialog highlights the usefulness of an argument-based model (e.g., Toulmin) for structuring how evidence informs decisions, while recognizing limits of 'based on evidence' as a blanket recipe.

#21 Tone Kvernbekk | Evidence-based Practice?

Q: Does John Hattie's Visible Learning approach fit your view of evidence or is it too instrumental?

Hattie's approach is not necessarily wrong or useless, but it is too narrow if taken as the whole view of evidence; evidence in practice includes local and contextual data beyond large-scale quantitative studies.

#19 Nicola Ulibarri | Creativity in Research

Q: How do mindfulness and emotional intuition concretely influence research decisions and writing processes?

She describes emotions as a data source that, when noticed and named, guide decisions about what data to pursue, when to pause, and how to engage with co-authors, ultimately helping to overcome writer's block and enhance analysis.

#19 Nicola Ulibarri | Creativity in Research

Q: What personal or professional experiences led you to write Creativity in Research and advocate for creativity as central to scholarly work?

Nicola explains how design thinking was adapted from outward-facing applications to the research enterprise at Stanford and how that initial curiosity grew into a decade of teaching workshops and eventually a book to reach a wider audience.
