DESCRIPTION:Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) in education research have
  been carried out for over 100 years. Over the last 15 of these years thei
 r use has increased significantly. In this talk we examine the field of ed
 ucation research to address the key challenges faced by education trials t
 oday and possible solutions. Despite their growing use they have been subj
 ect to sustained and rather trenchant criticism from significant sections 
 of the education research community. There are key areas in which RCTs req
 uire focus and improvement: in particular in recruitment and retention\, i
 mplementation and outcome measures.
