Challenges in Educational Research considers the quality and usefulness of educational research from various perspectives, using as a starting point two recent key reports: the John Gray ESCR enquiry: The Future of Education Research: Learning as the Centre, and The Strategic Review of Educational Research by David Hargreaves and Michael Beveridge.Influential academics and well-known researchers expand the argument to all areas of educational research, and far beyond the reports themselves.
