Sommario/riassunto

Thirteen major educationalists offer semi-autobiographical accounts of their own influential research work, focusing on the practical and



personal realities of the research process. Authors such as Barbara Tizard and Martin Hughes, Stephen J. Ball, David Reynolds and Peter Mortimore discuss their approaches to aspects of research from conception and funding of the project to information gathering and analysis, writing up and publishing.
