Description
There is increasingly wide agreement among teachers, researchers, inspectors, advisers and policy-makers that both teaching and research will benefit from being brought closer together. But how can this be achieved? Hard-pressed practitioners cannot be expected to review a constant flow of conference papers, journals and other publications, even if such items were accessibly written. This unique book synthesizes relevant research findings for the professional practitioner and
highlights their implications for the quality of teaching and learning.
Whether you are a teacher looking to enhance your practice or a researcher looking for a concise overview of or a researcher looking for a concise overview of the literature, this book will be a valuable acquisition.
