Highlights
Empirical research has long been recognized as critical to the field of education; it provides teachers with new instructional strategies, helps with the development of fair and unbiased assessments, assists with the creation of new interventions for struggling learners, and much more
Even though the year range is slightly different and the present study only focused on National Center for Education Research (NCER), the number of research projects in mathematics and science education is comparable with that of reading research projects (n = 158)
Considering that mobile devices like smartphones and tablets have dramatically increased our access to the Internet, we suggest that reading research projects focusing on educational technology should receive more NCER funding
Summary
Empirical research has long been recognized as critical to the field of education; it provides teachers with new instructional strategies, helps with the development of fair and unbiased assessments, assists with the creation of new interventions for struggling learners, and much more. While content analysis papers report overview of the different foci, methodology, grade level, and theoretical perspectives of literacy research published in leading journals, due to prolonged publication lags between manuscript submission and its final publication, these review papers may not be able to capture the most current research trends in the field. We are concerned with the money provided by the US Government for educational research, as these federal grants often result in larger scale investigations and culminate with more publications in higher impact journals than those funded by private monies. It was determined that their papers were published in higher impact journals than those of their peers These findings indicate that literacy researchers should strive to obtain federal monies, where can these be found?
