A Guide to Practitioner Research in Education
- Synopsis
-
Drawing on short texts that were produced by the former Scottish Council for Research in Education (SCRE), Menter et al. (education, U. of Glasgow, UK), some whom have worked in the SCRE, introduce education students and experienced teachers to practitioner research. They explain what it is and what it means for teachers, lecturers, and other education professionals; why to engage in it, such as for initial teacher education, school improvement, or policy development; and its elements: the research question, values and ethics, secondary data, the literature review, questionnaires, interviewing, focus groups, observation, and other methods like using photos, diaries, and drawings. They end with explanation of quantitative and qualitative data analysis and sharing research. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc. , Portland, OR (booknews. com)
