The What Works Centres
Leaders, researchers and practitioners from the UK 'What Works Network' share their insights on the successes, failures, and future of the What Works Centres, which have proven successful and popular across a number of policy settings.
Appraising Evidence Claims
For research evidence to inform decision making, an appraisal needs to be made of whether the claims are justified and whether they are useful to the decisions being made. This chapter provides a high level framework of core issues relevant to appraising the “fitness for purpose” of evidence claims. The framework includes (I) the variation in the nature of research, the evidence claims it produces, and in the values, perspectives, and ethical iss…
Enabling knowledge brokerage intermediaries to be evidence-informed
Target audience: What Works Centres; other intermediary brokerage agencies; their funders and users; and researchers of research use. Background: Knowledge brokerage and knowledge mobilisation (KM) are generic terms used to describe activities to enable the use of research evidence to inform policy, practice and individual decision making. Knowledge brokerage intermediary (KBI) initiatives facilitate such use of research evidence. This debate pap…
The many faces of disability in evidence for policy and practice
Background: This special issue examines the relationship between disability, evidence, and policy. Key points: Several themes cut across the included papers. Despite the development of models of disability that recognise its socially constructed nature, dis/ableism impedes the involvement of people with disability in evidence production and use. The resultant incomplete representations of disability are biased towards its deproblematisation. Exis…
Systematic Reviews in Educational Research
This chapter explores the processes of reviewing literature as a research method. The logic of the family of research approaches called systematic review is analysed and the variation in techniques used in the different approaches explored using examples from existing reviews. The key distinctions between aggregative and configurative approaches are illustrated and the chapter signposts further reading on key issues in the systematic review proce…

The future of Evidence & Policy
The future of Evidence & Policy: moving forward from ValenciaIn celebrating the first ten years of Evidence & Policy we wanted to think expansively and creatively about how to move the field forward and identify ways in which Evidence & Policy can contribute to such an advance.To help with this mission, we held a twoday international meeting in Valencia, Spain, in October 2015

Enabling the Use of Research Evidence Within Educational Policymaking in Europe
Despite a political climate demanding evidence-informed decision making in education both within individual countries and at the international level, empirically grounded European research in this field is scarce. This paper reports on a European Commission-funded study that sought to identify and analyze different initiatives across Europe aimed at furthering research-informed policymaking in education, one of a number of comparative analyses in…

Clarifying differences between review designs and methods
This paper argues that the current proliferation of types of systematic reviews creates challenges for the terminology for describing such reviews. Terminology is necessary for planning, describing, appraising, and using reviews, building infrastructure to enable the conduct and use of reviews, and for further developing review methodology. There is insufficient consensus on terminology for a typology of reviews to be produced and any such attemp…

Weight of Evidence
Knowledge use and production is complex and so also are attempts to judge its quality. Research synthesis is a set of formal processes to determine what is known from research in relation to different research questions and this process requires judgements of the quality and relevance of the research evidence considered. Such judgement can be according to generic standards or be specific to the review question. The judgements interact with other …
Systematic Research Synthesis to Inform Policy, Practice and Democratic Debate
Issues surrounding the role and provision of evidence to inform policy and practice have become topical and problematic. The context of these controversies is discussed, with particular emphasis on systematic approaches to synthesising research evidence. We contrast the ‘positivist’ emphasis with interpretative qualitative synthesis, and suggest that many of the viewpoints have become unnecessarily and unhelpfully polarised. The methods for syste…

The politics of evidence and methodology
English The ‘evidence movement’ poses particular challenges to social science. This article describes and reflects on some of these challenges, using as a case study the development over the period from 1993 of the Evidence for Policy and Practice Information and Coordinating (EPPI-Centre) at the Institute of Education, University of London. The article describes the development of EPPICentre resources for supporting evidence-informed policy in t…
Language Curriculum Development in South Africa
As in other parts of the world, language-in-education planning in South Africa is composed of two interrelated domains: decisions about languages taught as subjects and decisions about languages used as media of instruction (or languages of learning, as they have come to be known in South Africa). Alternative political ideologies and educational philosophies have clearly determined the nature of each of these decisions and their implementation—a …

The English of white Eastern Cape farmers in South Africa
This paper examines the features of the English used by a farming community in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. It shows how the farmers form a cohesive unit characterized by a particular style of speech. Aspects of this speech style include code-switching with Xhosa (a local African language), as well as the prevalence of terms of address. The social significance of this speech style, especially codeswitching, is explored in terms of t…

Alternative Perspectives on Orality, Literacy and Education
The question of the 'great divide' between orality and literacy has been critically addressed by various scholars of literacy, including social literacy theorists. This paper uses the notions of primary and secondary discourse across both oral and literate contexts to examine this 'divide'. Using evidence from the oral tradition of the Xhosa, it is shown that 'traditional' societies have well-established primary and secondary discourse types. Aga…
The price of a loaf of bread
This paper reports on a case study of one local authority, and illustrates the different definitions of the term ‘family support’ employed by the different agencies within the authority. It provides a framework to analyse the contribution of the agencies according to the assumptions they make about methods and efficacy of intervention and access to and termination of intervention. It contrasts the findings from this framework with a needs based m…
