Publisher's Synopsis
The contributors trace the development of knowledge utilization systems in education over the past 20 years. The survey begins with an historical overview of how teachers, and other educational practioners, communicate new knowledge, such as the results of research studies and experimental programmes. The articles include case studies of nine exemplary knowledge utilization programmes, a report of the first attempt to analyze differences at state-level in dissemination of policies and strategies in the USA, and give details of projections for the state of knowledge utilization systems in education by the year 2001.
