We compartmentalize the scientific method to the realm of um...science subject matter. It's a result of our tendency to compartmentalize knowledge. Make sense, when you don't want to spend much brain power thinking about the interconnections, not so much when you're on the job coding up some solution to problems or trying to find better way to teach children. So in our case, teachers just don't use the scientific inquiry to do research. However, we also know that teaching degrees aren't predictor of student performance. So degrees seem to me to be entirely disconnected with scientific study of teaching/neuroscience/whatever_science_related_field_to_education.
