A practical guide to classroom-based inquiry

Practitioner Research for Teachers connects the rationale for teacher-led research with the practical work of planning and carrying out classroom-based projects. It traces how classroom research developed from earlier school-effectiveness and action-research movements, then turns to questions of research design and implementation in school settings. Practical examples help illustrate the discussion, while chapter-end tasks and further-reading suggestions give the book a structure for working through its ideas. The emphasis is on research as part of teachers’ professional development and on the considerations involved in conducting inquiry amid the demands of school practice.
