Improving schools : using what we know

Abstract

Improving Schools presents a state-of-the-art review of current issues in research on knowledge use and the process of educational change. Six distinguished scholars examine how elementary and secondary schools utilize educational innovations -- new ideas, materials, and technologies -- to improve their organizations. Current research on knowledge use is surveyed, and vital questions are raised concerning current perceptions of the nature of schools. The foundation that emerges will aid future researchers in the discipline to build in a more systematic fashion, while the issues raised significantly contribute to the broad field of knowledge utilization and organizational analysis.
