Investigates the logical gaps between what can be shown by research and the wider political requirements of policy
Examines the different educational research traditions e.g. large population studies, individual case studies, personal narratives, action research, philosophy and 'the romantic turn'
Calls for a more subtle understanding of the ways in which different forms of enquiry may inform policy and practice
Discusses the recognition and utilisation of the insights offered by the rich variety of educational research traditions available to us
