This field study investigates the dissemination of an
innovation through a descriptive analysis of the Structured Experiences for Use in the Classroom Project.
Part I serves as an introduction to the field study and
provides information about the role of the author in the
Project, data collection methods and terminology used in
the study. Part II provides a description of the operation
of the Project and an analysis of the network of users of
the innovation as well as some case studies of the users.
Part III considers the operation of the Structured Experiences
for Use in the Classroom Project in the light of the
theory of the dissemination of innovations. This part also
includes some conclusions about the theory and practice of
the dissemination of innovations and raises implications
for future practice and policy making.
The Project team on the Structured Experiences for Use in
the Classroom Project established a network of users of the
innovation in order to further disseminate structured
experiences and receive feedback on their use. The difficulties
and the advantages of this approach are documented
in the case studies in Part II.
The conclusions from this field study raise questions and seek
to indicate some directions in the areas of; the funding of
projects, the styles of dissemination, the use of networks and
the adoption of innovations.
