Informed Dialogue: Using Research to Shape Education Policy Around the World

by Noel McGinn, Fernando Reimers

The authors of this book explain how decisions about education and educational policymaking can be informed by research-based knowledge. They develop a framework to organize three approaches, which policy dialogue as persuasion, policy dialogue as negotiation, and policy dialogue as participation and organizational learning. The book includes a nine-stage model for how best to employ research to influence this type of learning using a participatory approach. A current review of literature in research utilization in education is also discussed.

A thorough theoretical and practical guide to informed policy decisions for education policy. I learned a lot from Fernando in his courses but this book can provide much of the same insight! If you're interested in comparative and international education this is a must.
