Brendan Schuetze @schu.etze.co · 18/04/2026As SCORE project contributor, I don't see the findings as especially negative for education; the reproducibility issues likely reflect reliance on internal data that’s hard to fully de-identify. You could also argue the opposite: where it matters—replication in new contexts—education leads. 040
Brendan Schuetze @schu.etze.co · 18/04/2026Agreed! There are some of us in edu schools who teach causal inference methods and are doing our best with school environments that resist RCTs or even large scale data collection The highly influential b school researchers are really no better (I mean several of them have committed research fraud) 0110
Brendan Schuetze @schu.etze.co · 18/04/2026As a quant edu researcher, I’ll say it really depends where you look. Education research is arguably 10 different fields hiding in a trench coat, so the quality is highly variable. And arguably much of the quality is due to logistical constraints of capturing data in education contexts 2352

Brendan Schuetze @schu.etze.co · 11/02/2026I’m not sure I agree that a “null“ isn’t generating new knowledge. A null 95% CI can all but rule out effects larger than a certain magnitude. This is useful information, particularly in applied fields like education 140
