Harnessing knowledge to practice: accessing and using evidence from research
This is a report produced by the Innovation Unit at the Centre for the Use of Research and Evidence in Education (CUREE). The report considers the barriers which exist between education research and educational practice, along with a description of solutions which are currently offered by various agencies to bring these two closer together. The final part of the report raises a number of issues relating to the future of evidence-based education research, including the possibilities of raising th

Lies, lies and more lies
Deception in organisations can start with a few 'bad apples' but the rot often spreads much wider and deeper. New research from Dr Stelios C. Zyglidopoulos reveals how apparently good people - churchgoers in Enron's case - can gradually become corrupt, sometimes as a result of social pressures within the organisation.

Body beautiful
Ben Barry, a PhD student at Cambridge Judge Business School, has conducted new research into the global consumer mind set. It shows that women are more likely to purchase a fashion product when they see a model who resembles them. It all began with that famous "Dove" campaign.
Introduction This unit draws attention to the value of a sociocultural understanding of spoken language in the processes of teaching and learning. It focuses upon how language can be used for persuasion, control and argument, and how dialogue can act as an aid to development. Along with some background reading and activities this unit offers opportunities for the evaluation of some selected classroom talk. This material is from our archive and is an adapted extract from Language and literacy in a
