Decision-Oriented Educational Research considers a form of
educational research that is designed to be directly relevant to
the current information requirements of those who are shaping
educational policy or managing edu cational systems. It was written
for those who plan to conduct such research, as well as for policy
makers and educational administrators who might have such research
conducted for them. The book is divided into three main parts. Part
I is background. Chapter 1 describes some of the basic themes that
are woven throughout subsequent chapters on decision-oriented
research. These themes include the impor tance of taking a systems
view of educational research; of understanding the nature of
decision and policy processes and how these influence system re
search; of integrating research activities into the larger system's
processes; of the role of management in the research process; of
researchers and managers sharing a sense of educational purposes;
and of emphasizing system improvement as a basic goal of research
process. Chapter 2 is a discussion of the background of the
research activities that form the bases of this book. Our
collaboration with the Pittsburgh public school system is
described, as are the methods and structure we used to build the
case histories of our work with the district. Part II, encompassing
chapters 3 through 9, addresses basic generaliza tions about
decision-oriented educational research that we have derived from
our experiences."
