Produktbeschreibung
At the level of reform implementation, very few changes are based upon the findings of research and, paradoxically, this is particularly the case in the field of higher education.

Major gaps between research and policymaking, on one hand, and the teachers and administrators, on the other hand, still prevail.

This is doubly the case in developing countries where very few changes are informed by meaningful research and a lack of dialogue between the stakeholders is standard.
