Abstract
This book is about research — not all kinds of research, but research designed to be immediately useful to those who are responsible for educational systems, either in the role of policy setting or in administration and management. Cronbach and Suppes (1969) divided up the world of research into conclusion-oriented and decision-oriented inquiry. This book is about the latter. We call it decision-oriented educational research (DOER). It is research designed to help educators as they consider issues surrounding educational policy, as they establish priorities for improving educational systems, or as they engage in the day-to-day management of educational systems.
