The authors examine the tension between the efficiency of a clear division of labor and the value of approaches that potentially promote dialogue and thus yield richer theory/research and policy/practice. This book raises questions about the adequacy of the two-cultures thesis for explaining the limited communication between theorists/researchers and policymakers/practitioners. As a result, it discusses approaches for enhancing the connections among theorists, researchers, policymakers and practitioners. The importance of this book is that it provides a corrective through a comparative perspective that re-couples the relation of theory, research and practice. It seeks not only to consider how that relationship might be rethought but provides cross-national comparisons to illuminate the possibilities and complexities of modern educational research. |
