State of the Art versus the State of Practice: A Discrepancy in Need of Repair.
Reynolds, Maynard C.
Educational Policy, v10 n2 p130-45 Jun 1996
There's a wide discrepancy between the "state of the art" and the "state of practice" in education everywhere. Inadequate but continuing federal categorical programs are one example of this knowledge/practice gap. Recent Chapter 1 program revisions geared toward involving community agencies and making the total school program a resource for disadvantaged students are promising developments. More research is needed. (31 references) (MLH)
