I am searching for research on teaching styles and/or practices.?

Question

Specifically if there have been teaching practices which are more effective identified. Or if a set of teaching styles have been established.

Answer 1

This is probably too broad a subject.

You could start by looking at the differences between Constructivist and Behaviourist approaches to education.

You could also consider looking into the differences between direct instruction and inquiry-based education.

The "style" that a teacher uses should not be static; it should change in response to the needs of the students and the curriculum. What works in a Math 12 classroom full of ESL students won't work in an elementary art class for children with Aspergers.
