Researching the Implementation of Educational Policy: A Backward Mapping Approach.
Dyer, Caroline
Comparative Education, v35 n1 p45-61 Mar 1999
Misjudging the ease of educational-policy implementation is a common planning mistake. A "backward mapping" model, in which policy is informed by specific needs at the lowest level of implementation, was applied to primary school change in India and generated insights about social context, teacher attitudes, training needs, and implementation activities at four management tiers. Contains 44 references. (Author/SV)
