"The most useful research comes from those fighting the good fight in the front lines, and educational research is no exception. Teachers in training and experienced educators new to the concepts of classroom-based research and evidence-based practice get more than the basics here; Taber presents a wealth of reflective questions and background material here along with practical advice. He describes effective educational research and the strategies researchers use, the process (and art) of evaluating educational research and its relevance, methods of planning research and collecting evidence, techniques of analyzing the evidence,and ways to make one’s case through reporting research. Although centered on UK research, Taber’s advice and reflective questions are accessible and sensible and should apply to other types of school systems."
