  • ""Enhancing Practice through Classroom Research is a quintessential guide for teachers, by teachers, on how to improve practice - and understanding of practice - through a personal process of reflection, research and action that is grounded in fulfilling one's educational values in practice with a view towards improvement. Written in the format of an action research report, it contains probing questions for reflection and critical thought, encouraging the reader to begin their own classroom research. It covers key issues central to effective professional development and improving practice in the classroom: - Understanding the concept of the professional and reflecting on how values inform practice - Identifying critical questions such as why you teach as you do - Deciding how to investigate the issues you've identified - developing a research plan and collecting data - Interpreting and making meaning from data - Writing up each stage of your research. Acknowledging the busy nature of classroom-teaching and focussing on the idea of personalising professional development, this indispensible text will guide practitioners towards formal self-reflection and self-evaluation for accreditation purposes. This book will provide much needed guidance for teachers, student teachers and practitioners interested in small-scale research projects"--"
