EERJ Roundtable 2005

The EERJ Roundtable will take as its point of departure the experience of OECD's Centre for Educational Research and Innovation in carrying otu polica research. CERI has conducted 4 reviews of national educational R%D (in New Zealand, England, Mexico and Denmark), and run a number of meetings specifically on the use of evidence-based policy research (in US, Sweden, Netherlands). Tom Schuller, Head of CERI, will present some conclusions from these and other CERI activities.

The Roundtable is an opportunity to return to the issues raised in teh ECER 2003 Hamburg Roundtable on the 'OECD Examiners' Report on Educational Research and Development in England' in a wider context and as part of a trend to evaluate the quality and organization of educational research, and its contribution to educational policy.
