Book excerpt: The Trials of Evidence-based Education explores the promise, limitations and opportunities of evidence-based policy and practice as the attention of funders moves from a sole focus on attainment outcomes to political concern about character-building and wider educational impacts. The results and implications of over 20 studies conducted by the authors are combined with large number of studies from systematic reviews, and their implications are spelled out for the research community, policy-makers, schools wanting to run their own evaluations and practitioners using evidence in this well-structured and thoughtful text.
