Dear Anoop I am not sure whether you are aware of The Campbell Library (of systematic reviews) from The Campbell Collaboration. The Campbell Collaboration is a 'sister-organization' to The Cochrane Collaboration. See: http://www.campbellcollaboration.org/about_us/index.php "The Campbell Collaboration is an international research network that produces systematic reviews of the effects of social interventions." "The Campbell Collaboration (C2) helps people make well-informed decisions by preparing, maintaining and disseminating systematic reviews in education, crime and justice, and social welfare. For The Campbell Library see: http://www.campbellcollaboration.org/lib/ If you go to Advanced Search and leave the search box empty but click the Education filter there are 44 hits. I hope this might be useful.

Or like which methods work the best. I posed this question in Chronicles of Higher Ed and I almost got killed. It seems like in teaching, expert opinion and experience is the gold standard! I was really surprised to read all the comments coming from popular educational resource. It is amazing that every one out there has finally found the magic recipe through trial and error and they all are excellent teachers. I thought an education forum might be the first to talk about critical thinking and questioning evidence, but I was so wrong. I know there are differences in medicine and teaching, but why is an EBM approach not popular in education? Is it too complex to study effective teaching methods? Thank you
