This volume presents a compilation and review of more than 400 research efforts reported in 1987, organized in such a way that studies on related topics are easy to access by practitioners or researchers. The document is organized around four major sections that reflect the process of teaching, learning, and schooling including: (1) "Learners and Learning"; (2) "Teachers and Teaching"; (3) "Curriculum and Instruction"; and (4) "Context and Settings." Each major section begins with an overview of the research summarized and a context for review, and ends with a reference list appropriate to that section. A discussion of the significance of the studies and implications for practice and future research is included in each major section. (CW)
