ABSTRACT
For the past year, at the request of James B. Conant, I have been engaged in surveying the field of educational research in a special way. Instead of simply trying to summarize what educational psychology and educational research have accomplished, I started out with a series of questions about educational policies and practices which I have tried to answer on the basis of research results. The questions I asked were suggested partly by Mr. Conant himself, and partly by my own precognitions as to fundamental issues in the study of school learning processes. What most of these questions have been will, I believe, become evident as you read.
