Abstract
In examining research on effective teaching it becomes clear that the ideal empirical study should combine iteratively both quantitative and qualitative methods. Small-scale mainly qualitative studies lead to insights which can be tested on a wider scale; patterns in large-scale quantitative data suggest associations which can be explored and better understood by case-studies, and so on. Quantitative studies offer the evidence for evidence-based practice that politicians are now seeking; qualitative analysis can provide the understanding of the processes involved.
