Abstract	This major work captures cutting-edge and seminal practice from around the world in quantitative research in education, as well as looking back at some of the classic papers that have changed the way we work forever. It encompasses innovations in secondary analysis, surveys, experiments, statistical modeling, and sampling over thirty years. It showcases the methodological side of such innovations alongside reports of substantive results of great significance for educational policy and practice that emerge when using them. The articles included combine a good range of methodological approaches presented by a strong mix of top-name authors from around the world. ... [Volume One] is largely substantive in nature, showcasing a range of quantitative approaches used to investigate a number of enduring topics for education. The articles are lifelong, considering learners from birth through primary age to secondary school and beyond. They cover widening participation at university, work-based learning, the career implications of education and training, and the reproduction of educational advantage over generations of the same family. The articles here set education and training in a societywide contect, examining links between participation and qualifications on the one hand and ethnic origin, social class, cultural capital, housing conditions, and the segregation of social groups on the other hand. The topics range from classroom pedagogy through assessment practices to structural factors like private schooling, optimal class size, selection by ability, and single-sex teaching. The papers in this volume also introduce the ideas of school effectiveness, underachievement, social segregation between schools, social mobility, and the meritocratic efficiency of schooling.
