The Comprehensive Text that Explores the Theoretical Understandings and Classroom Applications of Practitioner Teacher Inquiry
Practitioner Teacher Inquiry and Research explores the overall concept of teacher practitioner inquiry and prepares teachers and students in teacher education courses and programs to conduct research in the classroom. The text examines the fundamentals of teacher inquiry and guides teachers and students to be more qualitative, open-ended, and reflective. When applied successfully, practitioner teacher inquiry gives teachers more control over the knowledge base surrounding the teaching profession, potentially changing the nature of critical analysis in areas relating to teaching such as self-assessment, academic curriculums, impact on student learning, and society.
This comprehensive text outlines the theoretical and practical understandings of practitioner teacher inquiry and contains the background, theory, and strategy required to successfully conduct classroom research. The author provides real-life practitioner inquiry research projects from eight contemporary classroom teachers from across a range of school settings, content areas, and teaching strategies.
Conducted in school settings, teacher inquiry uses methodologies that help to explore and think critically, reflect on one's practice, and strengthen teaching and learning. This text is designed for use with face-to-face instruction as well as with hybrid and online teaching formats and includes questions at the end of each chapter as well as websites with additional information.
Practitioner Teacher Inquiry and Research successfully guides and encourages current and future teachers to gain a better understanding of the importance of their involvement in the study and research of their classroom settings.
