Abstract/Sommario: Placing into perspective the meaning of evidence for evaluation professionals and applied researchers, this text provides observations about the diversity and changing nature of credible evidence, Editors Donaldson, Christie, and Mark include lessons from their own applied research and evaluation practice, and suggest ways in which practitioners might address the key issues and challenges of collecting credible evidence.

Abstract/Sommario: One of the most significant developments in school education in recent years has been the development and introduction of standards, a subject of considerable controversy. This book is the result of an event held in Kiel, a symposium that was arranged by two leading science education groups, one at IPN (Leibniz Institute for Science Education at the University of Kiel) in Germany and the other at the University of York, UK.

This book is the result of an event held in Kiel, a symposium that was arranged by two leading science education groups, one at IPN (Leibniz Institute for Science Education at the University of Kiel) in Germany and the other at the University of York, UK. The seminar brought together experts from 15 countries. These countries include those that have extensive experience with the effects of standards on the educational system, on individual schools and teachers and on students. Other reports concern countries which are introducing them shortly and yet others on countries that are in the early stages of development of standards. 11 are from Europe and the others are from Australia, Israel, Taiwan and the U.S.A. The book is divided into three parts. In Part A, two of the organizers set the scene, describing the reasons for arranging the symposium and outlining the preparations and the work done at the meeting. Part B contains 17 reports from the 15 countries and in Part C, there are two summaries, analysing the conclusions, taken from two different vantage points. The controversies surrounding standards remain. However, this book gives a succinct and authoritative overall account of the advantages and disadvantages of their introduction taken from the experiences of many countries.

Vengono perciò presentati i risultati ottenuti tramite lo studio della bibliografia internazionale sull’argomento, un’indagine statistica condotta tra i ricercatori sul rapporto di lavoro a termine negli Enti Pubblici di Ricerca e nelle Università italiane ed il confronto tra i risultati previsti dai modelli teorici di organizzazione del lavoro nella scienza e quelli ottenuti dall’applicazione di questi modelli. Il libro vuole quindi essere uno strumento di analisi, che aiuti a capire perché sia così difficile la situazione del giovane ricercatore in Italia e quanto abbia effettivamente funzionato, anche all’estero, la strategia di rendere il lavoro scientifico sempre meno stabile.
