Produktbeschreibung

There is growing demand for education to become more 'evidence-based' - that is, for research to provide the evidence to inform choices and decisions about educational matters. This book explores the view that education should become more 'evidence-based' by considering the relationship between research and practice in the context of the science curriculum.
