Conclusion
My contention is that research is under-utilized because of the shortcomings described in this article and because practitioners do not routinely look to research when they make decisions (Carnine, 1995). Researchers must take responsibility not only for systematically remedying these shortcomings but also for trying to influence practitioners to make research findings an integral part of their decision-making process (Carnine, in press, a, b, c, d, e).
