There is increasingly wide agreement amongst teachers, researchers, inspectors, advisers and policy-makers that both teaching and research will benefit from the two activities being brought closer together. But how can this be achieved? Hard-pressed practitioners can hardly be expected constantly to review a constant flow of conference papers, journals and other publications, even if such items were accessible and clearly understood. This unique book synthesizes relevant research findings for the professional practioner and highlights their implications for the quality of teaching and learning. Whether you are a teacher looking to improve your practice through applying the latest thinking in your subject or a researcher searching for a concise review of the literature, this book will be a vital acquisition.
