First Published in 1985. The book is a series of articles on the organisation of educational research and its impact on policies and practices. Contributions are from leading educational researchers and from those who use the evidence produced in administration and schools. Throughout the book the emphasis is on the way organisational and methodological changes within educational research have produced stresses within the academic community and between it and the consumers of their work. In particular, the contributions are concerned with the attempts by researchers to use interpretive approaches to secure more validity in evidence while the audiences for research retain more traditional views of the methods used.
From 1972-78 Marten Shipman was Director of Research and Statistcs for the Inner London Education Authority and visiting Professor of Sociology at the University of Surrey. In 1979 he was appointed Professor of Education at Warwick University and Dean of Education at the Roehampton Institute In 1984. He is the author of several books on the sociology of education and on social research methods.
