I teach and that more or less sums up my current view on the subject. Academic departments and journals of education produce a large amount of crap that later turns out to be poorly researched. This results in nonsense educational fads like learning styles, when there is no good evidence for them: http://www.psychologicalscience.org/journals/pspi/PSPI_9_3.pdf http://www.psychologicalscience.org/journals/pspi/PSPI_9_3.p... I'm in agreement with Diane Ravitch, the historian of education, that the college education major should be abolished. Instead students who aspire to be teachers should get a degree in any other field, and take a few courses on classroom management.
