Davis Publisher: R&L Education Print ISBN: 9781578868414, 1578868416 eText ISBN: 9781578868858, 1578868858 Pages: 152 Format: PDF Available from $ 22.20 USD SKU 9781578868858R120 Over the years, bridging the gap between research and practice in education has proven to be a stubborn and persistent problem. This book examines the issue from several perspectives. First, the characteristics of educational research are examined with particular attention given to the contrasting perspectives and professional orientations of researchers and practitioners. Second, the book provides a critical analysis of the current focus on 'scientifically-based' research as defined by No Child Left Behind and of the dubious relevance and uneven quality of research produced by schools of education. Third, several suggestions and resources are provided that can help practitioners improve their 'research literacy' and for researchers interested in advancing the practical relevance of their work.
