Inquiry, Data, and Understanding is a reflective collection of
papers in which Lorin Anderson offers his personal perspective on
developments in educational research over thirty years.
Following an introductory chapter, in which educational research is
defined as disciplined inquiry, the remaining chapters are divided
into four sections: time and learning, factors influencing
educational effectiveness, international perspectives, and the
nature and purpose of educational research. Each section contains
an introduction that places the chapters in that section in a
historical and personal context.
The fourth section, which concludes the book, summarises four
lessons that were learned about becoming a researcher. Based on
these lessons, the final chapter describes four needs that must be
met if school and classroom research is to move forward:
* The need for concept-based research
* The need to put students back into the equation
* The need to stop focusing on correlates of student
achievement
* The need for research on alterable variables.
