The Impact of Leadership on Student Outcomes
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the relative impact of different types of leadership on students' academic and nonacademic outcomes.

An alternative problem-based methodology (PBM) is presented which treats copying as a student'ssolution to the problem of how to complete an …
Methodology and the Research-Practice Gap
A much neglected reason for the limited contribution of research to the understanding and improvement of educational practice is the mismatch between educational research methodologies and the generic features of practice. Increasing the match requires an account of practice that clarifies its methodological implications. I propose a problem-based methodology (PBM) in which practices are treated as solutions to practical problems and explained by…

This paper outlines a theory of intervention that provides such safeguards and illustrates the application of the theory in two Auckland secondary schools. The empirical project involved an…
