Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: '[A] really important book [...] the growth of interest in teachers in England taking part in educational research is significant.' – John Furlong, Emeritus Professor of Education, Oxford University, UK. Mobilising Teacher Researchers brings together the results of a research project carried out over a two-year period, commissioned by the National College for Teaching and Leadership and involving over 650 schools in England. An internationally renowned group of contributors present crucial and intriguing lessons learnt from the 'Closing the Gap: Test and Learn' project, aimed at identifying ways in which to close the attainment gap, raise the achievement of disadvantaged children in England, and introduce new research methods into schools. From the project’s policy origins to its implementation, the book captures the diverse range of outcomes from the project, both intended and unexpected. It reveals the ways and extent to which teachers were mobilised as researchers, and how analysis will impact on the future of research-informed practice in schools. This resulting collection of evolutionary debates focuses on topics such as new forms of governance, teacher engagement and the effectiveness of Randomised Controlled Trials. It foregrounds new approaches to school-based educational research, and is crucial reading for anyone concerned with educational research, and seeking to understand education for social mobility.

Book Synopsis Working Together by : Marian M. Mohr
Download or read book Working Together written by Marian M. Mohr and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Noting that raising standards for teaching is a key to education reform, this guide outlines a tested plan for helping practicing teachers upgrade and fine-tune their own performance by systematically studying their own classroom methods and the student learning that results. Following an introduction, the guide discusses research group organization and procedures, including research logs and readings. The guide then explores classroom research practice and process, specifically, emergent research questions, observation and reflection, data collection, analysis and interpretation, implications, and research reports and group publication. Next, the guide addresses research issues and complexities: teacher-researcher role tension and validity and reliability. Finally, the guide presents research reports from group publications as follows: (1) "'I Think It Has Something to Do with Our Minds': Using Synectics to Learn about History" (Leslie A. Gray); (2) "What Happens When Mickey Writes? Reading between the Lines" (Alberta Grossman); (3) "A Teacher-Researcher Writes about Learning" (Courtney Rogers); (4) "Discovering Revision" (Betsy Sanford); (5) "Reading for Meaning; Trying to Get Past First Basal" (Mary Schulman); and (6) "What Happens When Eleventh- and Twelfth-Grade Students Do More Than Sit and Listen? A Proposal for Classroom Research on Operative Learning" (Ann Sevcik). Appendixes contain a sample course outline, sample course description, and sample research proposal outline. (HTH)
Book Synopsis Being a Teacher | Researcher by : Konstantinos Alexakos
Download or read book Being a Teacher | Researcher written by Konstantinos Alexakos and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-12-01 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using a sociocultural approach to critical action research, this book is a primer in doing reflexive, authentic inquiry research in teaching and learning for educators as teacher | researchers. Rather than the artificial dichotomy between theory and practice, the roles of teacher and researcher are instead seen in a dialectic relationship (indicated by the symbol “|” in teacher | researcher) in which each informs and mediates the other in the process of revising and generating new knowledge that is of benefit to those being researched. In addition to providing a theoretical foundation for authentic inquiry, Being a Teacher | Researcher provides a detailed framework with ideas and strategies that interested educators can apply in exploring teaching and learning in both formal and informal settings. It provides concrete examples of how to use authentic inquiry as a basis for collaborating with others to improve the quality of teaching and learning while cogenerating new theory and associated practices that bridge what has been described as a theory-practice divide. Included in this book are how to plan and carry out authentic inquiry studies, choosing appropriate methodologies, methods of data collection and analysis, negotiating research with human participants, using authenticity criteria and characteristics, and addressing challenges and conflicts for teacher | researchers. As a primer, this book serves the needs of many different populations including prospective and practicing teachers, teacher educators, beginning researchers and seasoned researchers who are making changes to what and how they research.

Book Synopsis Becoming a teacher education researcher by : Diane Mayer
Download or read book Becoming a teacher education researcher written by Diane Mayer and published by Critical Publishing. This book was released on 2021-01-18 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You can successfully develop your higher education research profile while balancing the demands of training teachers and administration. While teacher education is key to preparing qualified teachers who can educate pupils for the demands of the twenty-first century, many university-based teacher educators experience conflicting demands in their professional practice. Their lives are often so dominated by teaching and associated work that their aspirations to develop a research profile are hampered. This text explores the critical issues faced by those working in teacher education and how they have negotiated the expectations and requirements of the Academy to establish themselves as leading international teacher education researchers. Through a series of autobiographical cases, this book demonstrates a range of trajectories in different contexts which have facilitated the development of teacher educators' successful research profiles. Understandings and realities of the policy context, the professional context, the research context (including funding, metrics, type of research valued), the institutional context and various personal positionings are examined in order to illuminate stories of research success and demonstrate their relevance to all teacher educators.

Book Synopsis The Metrics of Teacher Effectiveness and Teacher Quality Research by : Andrew Skourdoumbis
Download or read book The Metrics of Teacher Effectiveness and Teacher Quality Research written by Andrew Skourdoumbis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-03-05 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most developed nations measure the performance of teachers in audit evaluations of school productivity. Accountability metrics such as "teacher effectiveness" and "teacher quality" dominate evaluations of student outcomes and shape education policy. The Metrics of Teacher Effectiveness and Teacher Quality Research explores how these metrics distort analyses of student achievement, sideline broader contextual and systemic influences on learning, reinforce input-output analysis of schooling, and skew the educational debate. Focusing on recent phases of school education policy reform, this book utilizes qualitative data from classroom teacher participants to examine how and why issues of teacher effectiveness and teacher quality figure so prominently in policy reform and why pressing matters of social class, school funding, and broader contextual influences are downplayed. The authors use this information to suggest how teachers can develop their role as pedagogic experts in a highly scrutinized environment. This book will be of great interest to education academics and postgraduate students specializing in teacher performance, accountability and governance.

Book Synopsis Teachers as Researchers (Classic Edition) by : Joe L Kincheloe
Download or read book Teachers as Researchers (Classic Edition) written by Joe L Kincheloe and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-01-30 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teachers as Researchers urges teachers - as both producers and consumers of knowledge - to engage in the debate about educational research by undertaking meaningful research themselves. Teachers are being encouraged to carry out research in order to improve their effectiveness in the classroom, but this book suggests that they also reflect on and challenge the reductionist and technicist methods that promote a 'top down' system of education. It argues that only by engaging in complex, critical research will teachers rediscover their professional status, empower their practice in the classroom and improve the quality of education for their pupils. Now re-released to introduce this classic guide for teachers, the new edition of Teachers as Researchers now also includes an introductory chapter by Shirley R. Steinberg that sets the book within the context of both the subject and the historical perspective. In addition, she also provides information on some key writing that extends the bibliography of this influential book thereby bringing the material fully up to date with current research. Postgraduate students of education and experienced teachers will find much to inspire and encourage them in this definitive book.
