People who work in the k-12 education system: did your own education involve classes in evaluating research and statistical data?

Did you have any classes that discussed what constitutes a valid research study, the difference between correlation and causation, and to question statistics concluded from studies?

During your education and in your career were you encouraged to look to research for evaluating the effectiveness of an education program? Were you provided with research studies to support the decisions made regarding curriculum and teaching methods?
