RESEARCH INTO PRACTICE (2005 PREL Compendium) This issue of Research Into Practice, PREL’s annual research compendium, brings together articles detailing research conducted during 2004 by PREL. The articles focus on putting research findings to work to improve education. This issue addresses the following topics:
The articles in this volume were originally published or presented in other forms, many with very limited circulation: as articles in refereed journals, as reports to funding authorities, as doctoral dissertations, or as commissioned white papers. We bring these works together in one volume to share them with a wider audience of our constituents and partners. By doing so, we hope to contribute to the body of work that supports education in the Pacific and around the world. The 83-page softcover book may also be ordered by phone at 1(808) 441-1300 or U.S. toll-free 1(800) 377-4773 or by email to orderinfo@prel.org.
