He looks at four well-known ideas that emerged from the world of scholarship - Bloom's taxonomy, multiple intelligences, the project method, and Direct Instruction - and asks what we can learn from their success in influencing teachers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSchneider identifies four key factors that help bridge the gap between research and practise: perceived significance, philosophical compatibility, occupational realism, and transportability. Through the examination of counterexamples - similar ideas of equal promise that lacked these four qualities and did not translate into practise - Schneider shows the complexity of the relationship between theory and practise in education and suggests how that tenuous connection might be strengthened to help innovations and new insights gain traction in our schools.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCONTENTS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e FOREWARD vii\u003cbr\u003e INTRODUCTION 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e CHAPTER ONE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e“I Have Heard the Phrase Quite a Bit” \u003c\/b\u003e15\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBloom’s Taxonomy\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e CHAPTER TWO\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTheory of Many Uses\u003c\/b\u003e 51\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHoward Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e CHAPTER THREE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e“Wholehearted Purposeful Activity” \u003c\/b\u003e79\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Project Method\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e CHAPTER FOUR\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLessons of Last Resort\u003c\/b\u003e 109\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eDirect Instruction\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e CHAPTER FIVE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e“Less of an Impact on the Educational World”\u003c\/b\u003e 141\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eIdeas Without a Foothold\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e CONCLUSION\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat Do We Know and What Might We Do?\u003c\/b\u003e 183\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e EPILOGUE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eA Consensus Agenda\u003c\/b\u003e 209\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e NOTES 211\u003cbr\u003e ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 247\u003cbr\u003e ABOUT THE AUTHOR 249\u003cbr\u003e INDEX 251","brand":"Harvard Educational Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50095331869015,"sku":"9781612506692","price":27.16,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781612506692.jpg?v=1740905186","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/from-the-ivory-tower-to-the-schoolhouse-how-scholarship-becomes-common-knowledge-in-education-9781612506692","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
