Reviewing Quantitative Research to Inform Educational Policy Processes

Educational planners and policy-makers are rarely able to base their decision-making on sound information and research. Although educational research data exists, it is not always easy to locate it or to identify its potential usefulness in the policy-making process. This booklet provides a practical framework that can be used to locate and evaluate relevant quantitative research: types of sources to be consulted, tools available and the processes involved in analysing the findings.Hite, Steven J. is the author of 'Reviewing Quantitative Research to Inform Educational Policy Processes' with ISBN 9789280312102 and ISBN 9280312103.
