Formative and design experiments represent a methodology uniquely suited for educational research in general and literacy research in particular. Providing a practical overview of this emerging and promising approach, the authors address the following questions: What is the origin of formative and design experiments and how do they compare to other approaches to investigating interventions in classrooms?

This pioneering book, by one of the founders of the media literacy field, provides the first empirical evidence of the impact of media literacy on the academic achievement of adolescents.

To do so, they developed an innovative curriculum that incorporates popular media, television, journalism, film, and new media into the required English curriculum. This book examines the processes they used to design and implement the new curriculum as well as the sp

There has been intense debate in the UK over the European single currency, but the ratio of light to heat has been disappointingly low. Discussion has centered on whether or not the UK should join monetary union; barely any attention has been paid to the crucial issues of how economic policy must change if the UK is to participate, or how policy must adapt if the UK stays outside. And there has been little analysis of how the date of entry would be affected by the time it takes for policy changes to be implemented and take effect. This report of an independent panel, chaired
