Abstract

In an earlier piece of work (Eacott, 2008c) I argued that strategy in education was a topic in search of unity. Oh how times change.

In this chapter I outline the conceptual framework that I proposed in that paper and then what happened when I tested this framework in a small scale study using a questionnaire.
