Summary: It is generally agreed that the problem of research use in education is multifaceted, involving a combination of issues attributed not only to the user end but also to the production end of research itself. Attempts to reach an understanding are often thwarted when discussions surrounding these complex issues become debates shaped by territorial disputes rather than dialogue. This book uses a variety of context-sensitive theoretical approaches to understand practice, enabling us to interrogate assumptions and to consider the possibilities for the application of research in the pursuit of evidence-based practice.
