{"product_id":"9781782770848","title":"Research and Policy in Education: Evidence, Ideology and Impact","description":"The OECD tells us that 90 percent of education reforms are not properly evaluated. So it seems that governments have not lived up to their own ideals of evidence-informed policymaking.\u003ci\u003eResearch and Policy in Education\u003c\/i\u003e argues that education policy is as often driven by political ideologies as by solid research evidence. It explores this claim with case studies of:• the Coalition government’s reform of teacher training towards a school-led approach;• the use of evidence in international policy borrowing and the rhetoric of \"what works\";• the deployment of policies that aim to narrow the social class achievement and participation gap.The book concludes with a plea for more discipline-based research on education, and a reassertion of the importance of the sociology of education as an essential resource for making sense of contemporary education policy.","brand":"Ucl Ioe Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47032456020208,"sku":"9781782770848","price":41.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781782770848_p0.jpg?v=1763720942","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781782770848","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
