Tom Bennett
Drawing from a wide range of education theories and strategies, Bennett argues that much of what we think we know about schools hasn’t been proven in any meaningful sense. Poor research and a lack of evidence can have damaging effects on both schools and pupils, he warns.
Alongside practical suggestions teachers can use in classrooms, this book encourages readers to question and reflect on the most common ideas in modern education research and where these ideas were born: who instigates education research, who writes it, and how to spot when a claim is based on evidence, and when it isn’t.
In listing research, EdCentral makes no judgment or recommendation as to its quality, validity or methodology and none should be inferred. Through peer ratings left by education practitioners, EdCentral’s aim is to support the development of a repository of shared knowledge and experience.
