Overview

In the past three decades politicians, journalists, researchers within the academy, and neo-liberalist critics of state schools have articulated that educational research is neither meaningful nor worthwhile. Yet empirical evidence has revealed that research plays a key role in informing decisions made by educational leaders. This book explores the tools needed to conduct ethical educational research, and the contribution postgraduate research might make to the training and development of educational leaders and their thinking and practice within educational settings. Recent debates position the production and use of ethical educational research as important for western governments; Alison Taysum investigates the thinking tools required for such research and examines what good practice looks and feels like. Supported by international case studies, from countries including Russia and Pakistan, the study approaches and engages with the role evidence-informed leadership might play in making the Every Child Matters policy contained within the social justice agenda become reality, and the implications for the No Child Left Behind policy in the USA and other international educational policies.
