Educational research, evidence, and its uses

Edited by Marten Shipman, this collection of articles examines how educational research is organised and how its findings enter policy and practice. Contributors include researchers alongside people who use research evidence in administration and schools, bringing both the production and application of findings into view. A recurring concern is the strain created by changes in research organisation and methodology, especially where researchers’ interest in interpretive approaches to strengthen validity meets audiences’ continued preference for more traditional methods. The collection therefore connects questions about how evidence is made with debates over who uses it and what counts as persuasive research in educational settings.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers studying educational research methods and the organisation of research.
  • Education administrators and school professionals interested in how research evidence informs practice.
  • Readers exploring debates between interpretive and traditional research approaches.

Book overview

First Published in 1985. The book is a series of articles on the organisation of educational research and its impact on policies and practices. Contributions are from leading educational researchers and from those who use the evidence produced in administration and schools. Throughout the book the emphasis is on the way organisational and methodological changes within educational research have produced stresses within the academic community and between it and the consumers of their work. In particular, the contributions are concerned with the attempts by researchers to use interpretive approaches to secure more validity in evidence while the audiences for research retain more traditional views of the methods used.
