Episode 5: Questions and Ponderings
In Episode five of the Educative Evidence-Based Practises Podcast, Caitlin and Brad reflect on questions arising as contributors draft their chapters, returning to Hoffman et al.’s table of contents to explore how clinical reasoning might translate to pedagogical reasoning. The hosts discuss how evidence-based practice begins with practitioners’ questions, interrogate “information needs” by asking whose needs and whose evidence matter in classrooms, and consider how teachers and students both hold questions and knowledge. They contrast education’s narrowed focus on randomized control trials with Hoffman et al.’s broader framing of evidence for different question types (intervention, diagnosis, prognosis) and the fit between qualitative and quantitative approaches. They also highlight shared decision making, ongoing work on pedagogical reasoning, and their four-source framework centred on care, growth, and positive transformation, including attention to the overlaps and “spaces” between research evidence, practice context, and student values.
Episode 4: Person-centred learning, co-design, and democratic classrooms
In this month's episode, James Humberstone revisits the project he shared at the 2024 Symposium, where he used the Educative Evidence-Based Practices (EEBP) framework to interrogate his teaching and curriculum in his most successful course, "Technology in Music Education". He explains how the direction he outlined in 2024 influenced the course development in 2025 - specifically to adopt a more Rogerian person-centred learning approach. James then shares how he has started working with Dr Jocelyn Ho at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, who also has an interest in democratic student course co-design. We include a short video from Jocelyn, in which she outlines her approach. James then explains how, together, they have been gathering data for a collaborative autoethnography on the topic, what their initial findings are, and how EEBP may contribute to their future teaching. This podcast has been created with the authors of chapters for the upcoming books in mind, but other researchers and teachers may be interested to learn about how the framework is being used in practice and research.
Episode 3: Educative Evidence-Based Practices: An Introduction to the Framework
A brief introduction to the Educative Evidence‑Based Practices Framework, presented by Emily Wilson. The episode explores how student needs, context, teacher expertise, and research evidence work together to support the care, growth, and positive transformation of learners
Episode 2: Evidence-Based Practice Needs and Educative Core
Challenging the neoliberal version of evidence-based practice in music education. Discover how EEBP reclaims the original medical model to empower teachers as intellectuals and students as co-creators of their learning.
Episode 1: Educative Evidence-Based Practices: Framework Updates
Brad, Caitlin, and James take you on a journey through their dialogic development of the EEBP framework over the last year, in addition to the incorporation of changes suggested by colleagues in the field. This podcast has been created with the authors of chapters for the upcoming books in mind, but other researchers and teachers may be interested to learn about how the framework is evolving.
