Promoting Learning across Boundaries and Agencies

This ground-breaking book brings together cutting-edge researchers who study the transformation of practice through the enhancement and transformation of expertise. This is an important moment for such a contribution because expertise is in transition - moving toward collaboration in inter-organizational fields and continuous shaping of transformations. To understand and master this transition, powerful new conceptual tools are needed and are

The authors describe qualitative research synthesis and argue for its use, describing the process of data analysis, synthesis and interpretation and provide specific details and examples of how the approach works in practice.

Helping researchers to understand, make meaning and synthesize a wide variety of datasets, this book is broad in scope yet practical in approach. It will be beneficial to those working in social science disciplines, including researchers, teachers, students and policy makers.

Video in Social Science Research Functions and Forms Kaye Haw, University of Nottingham, UK and Mark Hadfield, University of Wolverhampton, UK This new text draws together the theoretical, methodological and practical issues involved in the effective use of video across the social sciences. This book deals with the central issue of how researchers can benefit from the use of video within their own research whether it be: video as representation, video as an aid to reflection, video that generates participation, video, voice and articulation or video that acts as a provocation. In turn each of these five central functions will be discussed in relation to different stages of the research process consisting of: research design, fieldwork and data collection, analysis of data and findings and dissemination.

The theoretical framework which has shaped these studies is Cultural Historical Activity Theory (CHAT). CHAT analyses how people and organisations learn to do something new, and how both individuals and organisations change.

Working as part of an integrated international team, the authors identify specific findings which are of direct interest to the academic community, such as: the analysis of vertical learning between operational and strategic levels within complex organizations; the refinement of notions of identity and subject position within CHAT; the introduction of the concept of ‘labour power’ into CHAT; and the development of a method of analysing discourse which theoretically coheres with CHAT and the design of projects.

Beyond Reflective Practice

Causation in Educational Research

New Approaches to Professional Lifelong Learning

Keith Morrison, Macau Inter-University Institute, Macau, China

Edited by Helen Bradbury, Sue Kilminster and Miriam Zukas, all at University of Leeds, UK and Nick Frost, Leeds Metropolitan University, UK Reflective practice has moved from the margins to the mainstream of professional education. However, in this process, its radical potential has been subsumed by individualistic, rather than situated, understandings of practice. Presenting critical perspectives that challenge the current paradigm, this book proposes new conceptualisations and offers fresh approaches relevant across professions.

Definitions of reflection (which are often implicit) often focus on the individual’s internal thought processes and responsibility for their actions. The individual - what they did/thought/felt – is emphasised with little recognition of context, power dynamics or ideological challenge. This book presents the work of practitioners, educators, academics and researchers who see this as problematic and are moving towards a more critical approach to reflective practice.

This strongly practical book helps researchers understand, plan and investigate causation in education. It guides readers through statistical matters, explaining them clearly and simply in words as well as numbers, and shows them how to investigate qualitative causal research in education.

After introducing deterministic and probabilistic causation, the book shows how these can be researched in different ways. It explains: how to determine causes from effects and how to link theory and practice in causal research; how to plan and conduct causal research in education; and how to analyze, present and interpret causal data, and the limits of causal understanding.

Containing worked examples from both qualitative and quantitative research, this book provides a manual for practice, underpinned by a rigorous analysis of key issues from philosophy, sociology and psychology. It will appeal to new and established researchers, readers of educational research, social science students and academics.

Transformation in Scholarly Practice

Doing Research/Reading Research

Edited by Nicholas W. Jankowski, Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences, the Netherlands

Re-interrogating Education

Series: Routledge Advances in Research Methods

Paul Dowling and Andrew Brown, both at Institute of Education, University of London, UK

No less than a revolutionary transformation of the research enterprise is underway. This transformation extends beyond the natural sciences, where ’e-research’ has become the modus operandi, and is penetrating the social sciences and humanities, sometimes with differences in accent and label.

Many suggest that the very essence of scholarship in these areas is changing. The everyday procedures and practices of traditional forms of scholarship are affected by these and other features of e-research. This volume, which features renowned scholars from across the globe who are active in the social sciences and humanities, provides critical reflection on the overall emergence of e-research, particularly on its adoption and adaptation by the social sciences and humanities.

Introducing Neuroeducational Research

Qualitative Educational Research

Neuroscience, Education and the Brain from Contexts to Practice Paul Howard-Jones, Bristol University, UK In this book Paul Howard-Jones explores the differences between science and education, using research based studies and the voices of educators and scientists to build an argument for a new field of enquiry: neuroeducational research.

Introducing Neuroeducational Research builds a meaningful bridge between diverse subjects from an interdisciplinary perspective, serving two critically related goals: to enrich both scientific and educational understandings of learning.

The unique conceptual, methodological and ethical challenges which characterise this new field in educational psychology are examined and illustrated through empirical research, explaining why a ‘brain-based’ science of education can never exist in isolation from other perspectives on learning. Throughout the book, Paul Howard-Jones: • explores ‘neuromyths’ and their impact on educational research • highlights the opportunities to combine biological, social and experiential evidence in understanding how we learn • argues against a ‘brain-based’ natural science of education • introduces clearly the concept of an interdisciplinary neuroeducational approach • builds a methodology for conducting neuroeducational research

Readings in Reflexive Methodology and Transformative Practice Edited by Wendy Luttrell, City University of New York, USA Qualitative Educational Research is a comprehensive anthology designed to deepen education students’ thinking about their qualitative research purposes, questions, and decision-making. Focusing on various epistemological, intellectual, and ethical conflicts in doing social analysis, this reader invites researchers-in-training to explore why, from what perspective, for whose benefit, and with what stakes are research questions being posed. Drawing from her wealth of expertise executing and teaching qualitative research methods, scholar Wendy Luttrell has selected essays that focus specifically on the challenges of qualitative inquiry as they pertain to the field of education. These essays present multiple paradigms and perspectives in qualitative inquiry, including interpretivism, critical theory, cultural studies, feminist theories, critical psychology, and critical race theory. Reflexive writing assignments at the end of the volume expand readers’ understanding of the essays and guide students through developing their own research design.

Qualitative Research in International Settings

Single-Subject Research Methodology in Behavioral Sciences

A Practical Guide

Edited by David L. Gast, University of Georgia, USA

David Stephens, University of Brighton, UK

This book is written for student researchers, practitioners, and university faculty who are interested in answering applied research questions and objectively evaluating educational and clinical practices.

The basic tenet of single-subject research methodology is that the individual is of primary importance and that each individual study participant serves as his or her own control. Although the methodology has its roots in behavioral psychology and applied behavioral analysis, it has been used by applied researchers across a variety of disciplines.

The teaching of qualitative research skills in universities is now widespread and the number of institutions offering courses in research methods in education and the social sciences is growing, while professionals in the fields of education, health and the social services are increasingly required to carry out research, evaluation and reviews. Qualitative Research in International Settings will be an invaluable resource for all postgraduates and professionals engaged in research of this kind.

Drawing upon the author’s extensive experience of educational research in the Developing World, the book focuses upon working in a variety of cultural and national contexts. It combines the practice and theory of qualitative research by clarifying and communicating the core ideas and principles of this form of research and highlighting specific case studies as models of good practice.

Key features include the following: • Applied Focus – this text focuses on how to use single-subject research in constructing one’s research project or in evaluating one’s professional practice.

• Numerous and Varied Examples – The book abounds in examples from special education and other disciplines and populations within the applied research literature.

• Reader Friendly – The text is written in a reader friendly style, features sample data sheets and graphic displays, and includes detailed guidelines for conducting visual analysis of graphic data.

• Expertise – The author’s long and distinguished career in teaching single-subject research is augmented in this book by contributions from other experts in the field.

Arts-Based Research in Education

Teaching, Learning and Research in Higher Education

Foundations for Practice

A Critical Approach Mark Tennant, Sydney University of Technology, Australia, Cathi McMullen, Charles Sturt University, Australia and Dan Kaczynski, Central Michigan University, USA Teaching, Learning and Research in Higher Education offers a combination of critical perspectives and practical advice that is ideally suited for individuals interested in enhancing their practice through analysis and critique. The aim is to promote a critical understanding of one’s own practices: to foster personal and professional formation through a reflexive engagement with one’s environment and circumstances. At a practical level this means to continuously think about how to adjust practice rather than following a formulaic approach derived from any particular educational theory.

Teaching, Learning and Research in Higher Education argues that academics can find space for their own agency in the midst of institutional policies and practices that serve to frame, as well as delimit and constrain, what counts as good academic work in teaching and research. This text bridges a gap between those books that provide a high-level analysis of contemporary higher education, the more practical texts on how to be a good teacher in higher education, and those texts which aim to improve teaching through better understanding of the learning process.

A must-have resource for higher education professions, academic developers, professionals, and anyone looking to improve their teaching and learning practices.

Ethnography in Social Science Practice takes a unique approach that explores ethnography both theoretically and practically. Students can explore the application of ethnography to ‘real world’ research contexts through a range of multidisciplinary case studies. This is a text of two parts: Part one grounds the student in the theoretical and ethical framework of ethnography; the ethical and theoretical reasons behind ethnography’s increasing popularity across the social sciences will be discussed. In Part two of the book the ethnographic research process is charted through a set of diverse case studies drawn from across the Social Sciences. Each case study draws on a specific piece of ethnographic research, most of which are examples of applied social research. This accessible text provides excellent guidance on ‘how to do ethnography’ for both undergraduate and postgraduate students that ground ethnographic research in specific ‘real world’ contexts.

Exploring Learning, Identity and Power through Life History and Narrative Research

Hermeneutics, History and Memory

11

Philip Gardner, University of Cambridge, UK

Edited by Ann-Marie Bathmaker and Penelope Harnett, both at University of the West of England, UK This book brings together a collection of writing about learning, power and identity. Each of the main chapters uses a narrative/life history approach to explore the experiences of a wide range of different people, including teachers, nurses, young children, library workers, adults who attended secondary modern schools in the post-war period, and others. In addition, the book provides a critical overview of contemporary life history/narrative research, and an account of the process of constructing research narratives.

This book will: provide vivid examples of a narrative/life history approach to research in different educational and learning contexts; use this approach to explore identity, power and social justice in education and learning; and demonstrate inter-connections between research and the construction of research, which offer a model for practice for other practitioner research groups.

The book makes a timely contribution to the growing interest in undertaking narrative and life history research.

This is particularly relevant as there is now a continuing expansion of practitioner research, linked to an emphasis on research-based professions in education, health, and social service occupations. This book will provide examples for students of how professionals have used narrative research to investigate their particular research questions, it addresses key issues of social justice and power played out within different contexts, and it discusses the ethics of narrative research directly.

This book’s central concern is the problem of interpretation, both as meaning and as practice, in undertaking and using source-based research. Challenging the view that some traditional narrative historians hold, that theory or methodology are not central to their work, it explores the vital relationship that exists within research between interpretation and truth. Drawing examples from a wide-range of academic disciplines, the book will appeal to experienced historical researchers who seek more explicit theoretical and methodological foundations for their empirical investigations and to research students in history and the social sciences concerned with understanding the principles and practices through which documentary analysis and interview can be both conducted and utilised.

Language, Learning and Context Talking the Talk Wolff Michael Roth, University of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada Series: Foundations and Futures of Education Building on the work of linguistic philosophers such as Martin Heidegger, Donald Davidson, Paul Ricúur and Jacques Derrida, Language, Learning and Context explores the relationship between thinking and talk in educational settings. He uses the talk in science and mathematics education as a case study since, in these subjects, the issues are compounded by the fact that teachers talk about concepts and phenomena unfamiliar to students who do not speak the (theoretical) discourse that an understanding of the phenomena requires. The difficulties are further deepened for students who have to learn in a second language where their linguistic competence and the language of instruction are worlds apart.

Language, Learning and Context aims to help educators understand the ways in which they use language and the sense in which they are as much subject to its possibilities as they are able to consciously mobilize them. It makes recommendations for the praxis of teaching and will appeal to PGCE students, researchers and practising science and mathematics teachers, as well as those with interests in language and literacy.

Models in Statistical Social Research

Researching and Understanding Educational Networks

Goetz Rohwer, Ruhr-Universitat Bochum, Germany The book provides a better understanding of models used in statistical social research based on statistical data and methods. While traditionally understood statistical models relate to data generating processes which presuppose facts, this book focuses on analytical models which relate to substantial processes generating social facts. It formally develops individual-level, population-level, and multilevel versions of such models and uses these models as frameworks for the definition of notions of functional causality.

The book further develops a distinction between the representation of states and events, which is then used to formally distinguish between comparative and dynamic notions of causality. It is shown that, due to the involvement of human actors in substantial processes considered in social research, the conceptual framework of randomized experiments is of only limited use. Instead, modeling selection processes should become an explicit task of social research.

Multi-Sited Ethnography Problems and Possibilities in the Translocation of Research Methods Edited by Simon Coleman and Pauline von Hellermann, both at University of Sussex, UK Series: Routledge Advances in Research Methods It is now nearly fifteen years since Marcus (1995) published a cornerstone text arguing for the adoption of ‘multi-sited’ approaches in ethnography. Over that time, a growing number of researchers across the social sciences have been attracted to such strategies since they offer powerful ways to engage with current policy-related and theoretical questions linked to globalization, migration, diasporas and the development of transnational publics. This volume examines the problems and possibilities multi-sited approaches have presented to researchers, as well as the ways in which the concept has evolved since the mid-1990s.

The contributors raise new questions, new approaches and new possibilities, creating an indispensable volume for scholars in a variety of disciplines across the social sciences.

Robert Mccormick, The Open University, UK, Patrick Carmichael, University of Cambridge, UK, Alison Fox and Richard Procter, Institute of Education, London, UK Teacher learning is a matter of critical importance and the ways in which it is conceptualized is changing significantly with new emphasis on situated learning and activity theory.

This book presents analyses of the problems with existing theories of teacher learning and explores what network theories can be brought to the problem of how teachers and schools create and share new knowledge about practice.

These network theories draw on such ideas as social network analysis and on social capital theories, which gave a rich source upon which to build data collection and analysis of teacher and school networks. Using these theories the authors explore the empirical work that resulted from the investigation in the UK. This has been developed through further investigations of electronic networks (such as computer-mediated conferencing) and at how people network at events such as conferences.

This book explores a new application of networks theories derived from quite different fields of work, and extends it both by being concerned about networks beyond organisations (most work focuses within organisations), and specifically about educational networks. Their application to educational networks and to teacher learning in particular, is a unique contribution of the book. This enables it to be of interest to both researchers and those studying for higher degrees, including students who are professionals working in schools.

Using Analytical Frameworks for Classroom Research

Connecting Inquiry and Professional Learning in Education

Collecting Data and Analysing Narrative

International Perspectives and Practical Solutions

Edited by Susan Rodrigues, University of Dundee, UK

Edited by Anne Campbell, Leeds Metropolitan University, UK, Susan Groundwater-Smith, University of Sydney, Australia

Methodological research books on analytical frameworks until now have focused on describing and critiquing the tools used for data collection. This book is the first to broaden the focus to consider the analytical framework in which classroom research takes place. Bringing together influential voices on the topic, it examines, and encourages the reader to examine the tensions, potential, research evidence and reality of practice when using analytical strategies.

Divided into two sections, the first outlines particular analytical approaches which can be used in relation to different research questions. The second consists of case studies that illustrate how these analytical approaches can be applied to classroom narrative. The book provides a set of tools to assist prospective researchers as they decide which analytical approach or approaches best suit their own research endeavours. These include: • a key to help reflect on the benefits of varied approaches • questions to stimulate discussion • ideas for motivating researcher to adopt more suitable frameworks.

This in-depth look at the topic will appeal to researchers, academics and post-graduate students engaged in classroom research.

The Construction of Statistics and Numbers Edited by Ann R. Saetnan and Svein Hammer, both at Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway and Heidi Mork Lomell, Univeristy of Oslo, Norway Statistics are often seen as simple, straightforward, and objective descriptions of society. However, what we choose to count, what we choose not to count, who does the counting, and the categories and values we choose to apply when counting, matter. This volume addresses the ways in which statistics and numbers are gathered and applied in social science research. The contributors argue that we must become more aware of the power and the limitations of statistics. Learning statistics needs to be about more than simply mastering the techniques of using the tool; it needs to also be about learning the dangers of that tool and learning to control it within social and ethical bounds. These dangers lie in the routines through which statistics are applied; the discourses from which they emerge and into which they are deployed; the power relations created by those discourses; and the assumptions, meanings, and categories statistics carry with them in those discourses. This volume will be necessary reading for students and scholars using quantitative data within the social sciences.

Ethnographies Revisited

Researching Sex and Lies in the Classroom

Conceptual Reflections from the Field Edited by Antony Puddephatt, Lakehead University, Canada, William Shaffir, McMaster University, Canada and Steven W. Kleinknecht, Brescia University College, Canada Ethnographies Revisited provides first-hand accounts of how leading qualitative researchers crafted key theoretical concepts found in their major book-length ethnographies.

Great ethnographic research lies not in the rigid execution of prescribed methodological procedures, but on the unrelenting cultivation of theoretical ideas. These contributors focus squarely on this neglected topic, providing reflexive accounts of how research decisions were made in light of emerging theoretical questions.

The continuous generation of creative concepts is arguably the most important skill in developing powerful results in field research, since the originality of the ideas produced is how the study is ultimately judged. Yet, this topic is often taken for granted, treated rigidly and artificially, or is entirely absent from existing qualitative research manuals. In contrast, this volume offers candid insights of how leading ethnographers generated their initial questions, chose their research sites, made theoretical and methodological adjustments, and oriented their research to maximize the conceptual payoff, leading to such successful research contributions. This provides a fresh approach to the topic of qualitative research, by linking practical decisions in the field to the dynamic features of theory in the making, told through the first-hand experiences of some of the best ethnographers in our field.

Allegations of Sexual Misconduct in Schools Pat Sikes, University of Sheffield, UK and Heather Piper, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK Researching Sex and Lies in the Classroom draws on in-depth qualitative research exploring the experiences, perceptions and consequences for those who have been falsely accused of sexual misconduct with pupils, and for the family members, friends and colleagues affected by or involved in the accusation process.

The book also highlights the dilemmas and difficulties the authors themselves have faced researching this field, such as: • ethical and methodological concerns over whether or not the teachers had indeed been falsely accused, or were guilty and taking advantage of this project to construct an alternative, innocent identity • the difficulty of obtaining institutional ethical clearance to undertake and publish research which challenges master narratives concerning children and their protection • the reluctance of funders to support research in controversial and sensitive areas.

Researching Sex and Lies in the Classroom reveals findings which are both informative and shocking. It interrogates the appropriateness of current investigative and judicial procedures and practices, and it raises general questions about the surveillance and control of research and academic voice. It will be of great benefit to academics and researchers interested in this field, as well as postgraduate students, teachers and other professionals working with the fear of allegations of abuse.

Researching IT in Education

Researching Transitions in Lifelong Learning

Edited by Anne McDougall, with John Murnane, Anthony Jones and Nick Reynolds Serious criticisms of research on IT in education have been published recently in both the UK and the USA. Researching IT in Education aims to provoke thought and discussion among practising researchers by considering a range of approaches to undertaking quality research. Establishing priorities and directions for future research in the sub-discipline of IT in education, the book is structured around five foci: • Theory • History • Research Directions • Methodology • Research Topics.

This book argues for the enormous power of IT to enable fundamental research that both refines and develops theory and practice in education. High quality research that advances knowledge and educational practice in this area will generally require longer timelines and more complex data collection and analysis methods. The authors draw attention to the value of theoretical frameworks used in mainstream educational research and highlight the early theoretical work on the subject of IT in education.

Researching IT in Education is the only book in its area to focus on methodological and research design issues. The individual chapters are contributed by expert researchers and leaders in the field from ten countries, thus providing an unusually broad but coherent international set of perspectives for the issues examined in the book.

Edited by John Field, University of Stirling, UK, Jim Gallacher and Robert Ingram, both at Glasgow Caledonian University, UK In today’s society, people and organisations increasingly undergo processes of transition. Experiences of change affect all areas of life: our jobs, relationships, status, communities, engagement in civil society, lifestyles, even understandings of our own identity.

Each person must expect and make ready for transitions, engaging in learning as a fundamental strategy for handling change. This is where lifelong learning steps in. From career guidance to third age programmes, from ‘learning to learn’ in kindergarten to MBA, from Mozart for babies to gender re-assignment counselling, people face a crowded world of learning activities designed to help them through transitions.

Researching Transitions in Lifelong Learning presents new research from Britain, Australia and North America. The authors include leading scholars with established international reputations - such as Kathryn Ecclestone, Sue Webb, Gert Biesta, W. Norton Grubb, Nicky Solomon and David Boud - as well as emerging researchers with fresh and sometimes challenging perspectives. While emphasising the complexity and variety of people’s experiences of learning transitions, as well as acknowledging the ways in which they are embedded in the specific contexts of everyday life, the authors share a common interest in understanding the lived experiences of change from the learner’s perspective. This volume therefore provides an opportunity to take stock of recent research into transitions, seen in the context of lifelong learning, and outlines important messages for future policy and practice. It will also appeal to researchers worldwide in education and industrial sociology, as well as students on courses in post-compulsory education.

Researching Violence, Democracy and the Rights of People

Surviving Field Research

John F. Schostak, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK and Jill Schostak, University of East Anglia, UK

Edited by Chandra Lekha Sriram, Olga Martin-Ortega and Johanna Herman, all at University of East London, UK, John C. King and Julie A. Mertus, both at American University, Washington DC, USA

Violence, democracy and rights are issues that are not fully addressed in research methodology literatures. Yet violence is of vital interest in substantive and theoretical debates across the social sciences, education, philosophy, politics and cultural studies. Methodology needs to be informed by and be relevant to the debates and practices within and across these perspectives on the worlds of everyday life.

Working in Violent and Difficult Situations

The aim of this edited volume is to guide researchers in identifying and addressing challenges in conducting qualitative research in difficult circumstances, such as conducting research in autocratic or uncooperative regimes, with governmental or non-governmental officials, and perhaps most importantly, with reluctant respondents such as victims of genocide or (on the other side of the coin) war criminals.

Research is fundamentally entwined with the political, the ethical and the legal. When it presumes the neutrality of method and ignores its radical roots of inquiry, it is in danger of being politically co-opted and ethically naive. Research that reveals what is at stake, politically, ethically and legally is typically open to accusations of being partisan and therefore political. It cannot, however, avoid being political in the broadest sense of the word.

Researching Violence, Democracy and the Rights of People explores what is at stake methodologically (both theoretically and practically) for researchers seeking to expand opportunities for people to become visible upon the public stages of debate, decision making and action, thus making audible their experiences of wrongs and injustices, and engage democratically in processes of change.

Education Research On Trial

The volume proceeds in five substantive sections, each addressing a different challenge of conducting field research in conflict-affected or repressive situations including: Ethics; Access; Veracity; Security; and Identity, Objectivity, Behaviour.

This important text will be vital reading for students, scholars and researchers in the areas of research methods, international relations, anthropology and human rights. It will also be of keen interest to policy practioners and NGOs, and especially relevant for those working in the regions of Africa, Latin America, and Asia.

Educational Research and Policy-Making

Toward Critical Social Explanation Jean Anyon, CUNY Graduate Center, USA Throughout U.S. history, education policies, practices, and politics have been described and tested to yield empirical data, often with little attempt to place findings in a larger theoretical infrastructure that could provide them with increased explanatory, critical, or even liberatory power. This collection fills that void by taking the point of view that neither research nor theory alone is adequate to the task of social explanation. Instead, Jean Anyon and her collaborators argue that they imbricate and instantiate one another, forming and informing each other as the inquiry process unfolds.

2ND EDITION

Process, Context, and Self-Study Donna Kalmbach Phillips and Kevin Carr, both at George Fox University, USA Becoming a Teacher through Action Research skillfully interweaves the stories of pre-service teaching with the process of action research. This engaging text focuses specifically on the needs of pre-service teachers by providing assistance for all stages of the research experience: selecting an area of focus; designing a culturally-proficient study; collecting and interpreting data; and communicating findings.

With an updated preface and introduction, this revised edition fully develops a convincing response to the framing question of the book, “Why pre-service teacher action research?” The new edition offers a more robust overview of research methodology, including mixed methods examples as well as quantitative data collection strategies. The authors also touch on digital photography and audio collection tools, as well as alternative art forms as possibilities for presenting action research. Using additional activities and examples, the authors clarify how to ask critical questions using literature reviews. This edition also includes fresh Action Research Memos, new examples throughout, additional glossary terms, and updated examples and templates. Each chapter now includes an overview chart to better provide a roadmap of the action research process, and new end-of-chapter Process Questions to encourage understanding. This one-ofa-kind guide continues to offer invaluable support for teacher-education students during a critical phase of their professional–and personal–lives.

Action Research and Reflective Practice

Designing Socially Just Learning Communities

Creative and Visual Methods to Facilitate Reflection and Learning

Critical Literacy Education across the Lifespan

Paul Mcintosh The use of reflection as a tool to support and develop practice is becoming increasingly recognised across education, healthcare and social sciences. Running alongside the use of reflection is the prevalent use of action research which some see as a way of approaching the study of human beings from a philosophical perspective in which sharing takes place within mutually supportive environments.

As a result many academics and practitioners suggest that one cannot improve the methodology of action research without considering philosophical reflection.

Exploring the tension between the use of evidence-based practice, based upon the ‘solidity’ of research and reflection with its subjectivity and personal perception, this book argues that reflection is research. By applying a refreshing approach to the subject the author increases both the use and effectiveness of action research and of reflection through the application of new creative and visual approaches.

As the author demonstrates, creative approaches can be utilised effectively in critically reflexive ways creating a new style of action research that is both innovative and theoretically robust. The resultant approach will improve evidence-based research in education, healthcare and other social sciences to enhance perception and understanding of events, identity and self.

Rebecca Rogers, University of Missouri-St.Louis, USA, Mary Ann Kramer, Melissa Mosley, University of Austin, USA and Literary for Social Justice Teacher Research Group Demonstrating the power and potential of educators working together to use literacy practices that make changes in people’s lives, this collaboratively written book blends the voices of participants in a teacher-led professional development group to provide a truly lifespan perspective on designing critical literacy practices. It joins these educators’ stories with the history and practices of the group - K-12 classroom teachers, adult educators, university professors, and community activists who have worked together since 2001 to better understand the relationship between literacy and social justice. Exploring issues such as gender equity, linguistic diversity, civil rights and freedom and war, the book showcases teachersí reflective practice in action and offers insight into the possibilities and struggles of teaching literacy through a framework of social justice.

Designing Socially Just Learning Communities models an innovative form of professional development for educators and researchers who are seeking ways to transform educational practices. The teachers’ practices and actions – in their classrooms and as members of the teacher research group – will speak loudly to policy-makers, researchers, and activists who wish to work alongside them.

Practitioner Research at Doctoral Level Pat Drake, University of Sussex, UK and Linda Heath, University of Brighton, UK This book explores the idea that the critical position that doctoral students must achieve in terms of both their research and the research setting is, at best, extremely difficult and, at worst, unachievable for practitioners conducting ’insider research’. The authors suggest that universities need to examine current research methodologies on practitioner doctorates with a view to creating new methodologies to accommodate new forms of knowledge construction.

The authors argue that comparisons between traditional PhDs and professional doctorates not only neglect the diversity of models of practitioner research at doctoral level, but also that a paradigm shift has occurred and that the construction of knowledge in the social sciences is not limited to the type of doctoral programme through which it is engendered.

Recent research indicates that key elements including supervision, ethical issues, relationships with colleagues, loyalty, duty and integrity place the practitioner in a situation which may not methodologically align with conventional approaches. In this book the authors take the opportunity to explore these themes in an holistic and integrated way in order to develop a sense of methodological coherence for the practitioner researcher at doctoral level.

This book will be essential reading for doctoral students and their supervisors, practitioner researchers working in professional settings more generally and those engaging with policy debates about doctoral research.

A Practical Handbook

The Routledge Doctoral Student’s Companion

James Hartley, University of Keele, UK Academic Writing and Publishing will show academics (mainly in the social sciences) how to write and publish research articles. Its aim is to supply examples and brief discussions of recent work in all aspects of the area in short, sharp chapters. It should serve as a handbook for postgraduates and lecturers new to publishing. The book is written in a readable and lively personal style.

The advice given is direct and based on up-to-date research that goes beyond that given in current textbooks. For example, the chapter on titles lists different kinds of titles and their purposes not discussed in other texts. The chapter on abstracts instructs the reader on writing structured abstracts from the start.

Getting to Grips with Research in Education and the Social Sciences Edited by Pat Thomson and Melanie Walker, both at University of Nottingham, UK Series: Companions for PhD and DPhil Research There are a burgeoning number of books available to support doctoral research – doing it guides and advice books, methods books, philosophy, ethics, analysis, getting published. However, this extensive literature is difficult for doctoral students to navigate and thus will not necessarily take them forward in their projects. Uniquely, this book is a companion to the many catalogues of texts now available for doctoral purchase.

Becoming a researcher involves engaging with a range of ideas and issues mediated through a particular research project. Doing a quality doctorate in contemporary times requires more than the technical skills required of a research process; it involves coming to see oneself as a researcher and to take on a confident researcher identity. This book works by exploring how identity/knowledge formation happens together. It addresses a set of interlocking and overlapping big questions that ’sit’ behind the plethora of doctoral advice texts and run through the practice of knowledge/identity work.

With contributions from many of the key names involved in the international education arena, this book will enable students to navigate their way through the vast library of doctoral and research books by bringing together questions and solutions which are generally scattered through a plethora of texts and will help all full and part-time students undertaking doctorates in education and other cognate disciplines become efficient researchers.

Doing Your Undergraduate Social Science Dissertation Karen Smith, Malcolm Todd, Sheffield Hallam University, UK and Julia Waldman, University of Southampton, UK

Edited by Pat Thomson and Melanie Walker, both at University of Nottingham, UK

Are you a final year social science student who has to do a dissertation or final year project?

Series: Companions for PhD and DPhil Research

Do you have no idea where to start?

This book accompanies the Routledge Doctoral Student’s Companion. The Routledge Doctoral Supervisor’s Companion places at its centre the interwoven questions of what it means to be a doctoral student in the social sciences, what is involved in becoming and being a researcher and clearly shows how the role of the supervisor is key to the student’s personal development. It further details what research capabilities are key to confidence, quality and success.

In each chapter, having provided a framing for the question under discussion, given some history of the debates, and offered a helpful lexicon through which to understand the topics The Doctoral Supervisor’s Companion provides information about helpful resources and methodological and method support. In this way, it acts as a road map to the international literatures and best practice. This, together with the diverse range of writers in the book, will ensure an international readership for the text.

This book will be a vital tool both for beginning and established supervisors and has the potential to be a key text for all education and cognate disciplines. It is not focused on methods and methodologies (other texts do that amply well) but addresses the sorts of questions that need to be taken up by developing researchers, debated and argued, as well as providing pragmatic and practical thinking about how to aid students’ research/scholarly careers and identities.

If so, Doing Your Undergraduate Social Science Dissertation is the book for you, covering the whole dissertation journey from project planning to submission. Using a mixture of useful information, exercises, practical strategies, case study material and further reading, it helps you through the process, giving hints and tips on beginning and managing your research project and working with your supervisors. Packed with proven practical advice, it also identifies many other sources of information and resources, making it your most dependable starting point and guide on your dissertation journey. Also included are links to accompanying materials on the Routledge website.

The authors have extensive experience in teaching at all levels in the social sciences, supervising social science undergraduates and dissertations.

The questions and issues raised are fundamental to the doctorate and ones which the academic audience finds itself discussing repeatedly. While there is no one solution to ideal supervision, this wide-ranging text offers proven solutions that will help supervisors develop their own personal style of effective supervision.
