description Educational research has been successfully assisting educators in solving enormous problems and difficulties in education especially in the teaching and learning activities in the classroom. Educators may benefit by taking a close and critical insight in their own practices. Developed and refined insights as to the nature of that practice, professional autonomy and competence, and authority to give a reasoned justification for their own educational practice may fruitfully result. The concept 'educational' involves the notion of 'improvement'. By being aware and critical of their practice, educators work more positively towards their own professional development. Improvements in the quality of education are dependent upon the professional competence and high morale of the educators.
