LIFE IN SCHOOLS AND CLASSROOMS GEBUNDEN

This book discusses key aspects of life in schools and classrooms  and surveys the changes that
have occurred over the years in educational research  policy making and practice in these
school and classroom settings. It not only examines cutting-edge research in these areas  but
also showcases good practices in the field. Among the topics reviewed are recent developments
in assessment  methods for collecting and analysing data on classroom practice  school
leadership and the pros and cons of class size and small-class teaching  topics which are
currently hotly debated in education systems around the globe. As such  the book objectively
examines the various debates  and surveys the full range of evidence available. Education
researchers  policy makers and practitioners often hold differing views about the reasons for
teacher and student behaviour in classrooms and  for example  its relevance to class size. Many
of these views are based on 'gut feelings' rather than hard evidence. Unfortunately  these
three groups  with differing perspectives  often 'talk past each other' rather than engage in a
productive  mutually beneficial dialogue. The book builds an effective bridge between
researchers  policy makers and practitioners regarding the impact of these various aspects of
classroom life  so that the viewpoints of each can be carefully considered and evaluated.
