One of the most persistent features of the research environment in
the UK over the last decades has been the Research Assessment
Exercise (RAE); now more and more countries are following suit by
developing their own systems for research quality assessment.
However, in the field of education, one of the difficulties with
this policy has been that a great deal of educational research
characterises itself as either applied or practice-based. These are
forms of research that have been notoriously difficult to
accommodate within the RAE in all disciplines, not just in
education. But what is applied and practice-based research in
education? How can we define it and how can we assess its quality?
The authors in this book come from diverse traditions within
educational research, but through their papers each aims to
contribute to the debate about what applied and practice-based
research is and how we can understand, articulate and assess its
quality. This book was first published as a special issue of
Research Papers in Education: Policy and Practice.
