[null,null,null,"Sommario/riassunto","The potential for research evidence to improve educational policy and practice is immense. Yet internationally, research used by teachers and governments is currently sporadic rather than systematic. In response, this book brings together seven chapters that encompass a range of research projects and ideas in relation to evidence-informed policy and practice (EIPP) in education. These projects and ideas all share a single overarching purpose: providing insight into how EIPP in education can be achieved.  Underpinning each chapter is the notion that the world is complex. If we are to introduce change in any meaningful way into it, we therefore have to understand and respond to this complexity. This means then that we cannot simply assume that, because it seems rational or common sense for teachers and policy-makers to use research to help improve their decision making or acts of praxis, that they will do so. Correspondingly, the book represents a holistic journey of discovery and experimentation: of an engagement with the work of thinkers and authors from Eco to Flyvbjerg, via Habermas, Foucault and Aristotle; of ideas ranging from phronesis to trust and social relations; "]
[{"$nulls":4},"and with diverse research methodologies, including social network analysis and decision tree predictive modelling.  The result is both descriptive and prescriptive: as well as outlining the research and its findings, practical suggestions and strategies for achieving evidence use both in educational policy and practice are provided throughout."]

[null,null,null,"Sommario/riassunto","Coyote at large shatters the misconception that nature writing -- works that seem limited to expressing conventional awe, reverence, piety and wonder -- is a humorless genre. In this important and surprising book, Katrina Peiffer reveals and explores the comedy and humor long overlooked in traditional and contemporary environmental literature. Edward Abbey, Louise Erdrich, Wendell Berry, and Rachel Carson, whom the author dubs \"comic moralists\", command center stage in this study. But in playful textual interludes, the trickster-coyote of Native American mythology appears in the wings, roaming at large through the prose and poetry of Simon Ortiz, Ursula Le Guin, Sally Carrighar, and Gary Snyder, providing a recurring analog for how comedy and humor show themselves in the larger canon of American nature writing. Lively writing coupled with a delightfully wiley approach make Coyote at Large an engaging and enlightening read for ecocritics as well as students of American literature."]

[null,null,null,"Sommario/riassunto","Evidence of gender inequity and inequality in terms of access, retention and performance in secondary education in Sub-Saharan Africa raises many questions. While transition rates from primary to secondary are higher for girls than boys, and the repetition rates are lower, girls still significantly trail behind boys in terms of secondary GER. This study documents and analyzes the extent and nature of gender disadvantage in junior and senior secondary education. It analyzes the causes of this disadvantage and identifies strategies that may be effective in reducing or eliminating it."]
