Overview
Eleven American academics and researchers contribute ten chapters illustrating how large-scaled, empirical studies can inform efforts to gain insight and improve educational productivity. Each chapter demonstrates creative exploitation of valuable national and international databases to explore ways to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of schools. Themes treated include improving secondary mathematics and science achievement; forms of social capital in relationships and in resources in the home, school, and community; analytic and measurement innovations; and international perspectives on educational productivity. Each chapter concludes with recommendations for policymakers, educators, and parents. No subject index. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, ORBook Details
