Deborah Sturpe on 23 Jul 13ERIC is the PubMed of education, yet can be hard to search. A trick I was taught was to first use the Thesaurus feature to find appropriate search terms. I usually start with "medical education" as shown. Once you then click "search", you will be brought to more links that you can focus or explore - sort of like MESH terms (but they function differently). Over time you will learn what "terms" are tagged to articles and can search within those tags only. This will help eliminate research papers that may not interest you (say, K-12 education).
