`Practitioner Research in Education should become a millennium
"must" for principals and school leaders whose schools are under
OfSTED spotlight and for all those practitioners who earnestly aim
to undertake higher managment studies whilst "in situ" in their
teaching posts.... It is a publication well worth reading by all
those who continue to be, justifiably, enthused by school
development issues' - Angela Monkman Brushett, OfSTED Inspector
`This is a very simple but notable piece of work... They have done
a service to education in providing evidence (and there is
remarkably little elsewhere) that continuous professional
development does pay off in terms of a better education for pupils
in schools' - School Leadership and Management Much debate
currently concerns the value of education research : how is it
perceived by practitioners and students ? How useful and relevant
is it ? Who best carries it out ? Can it be free from political
influence ? While practitioner research is widely advocated, little
is known about its effect on individuals, teams and the
institution. In Practitioner Research in Education, the authors
explore the effects of teachers' and lecturers' research and its
impact on organizational improvement. Whether affecting whole
school cultures through teachers' group work, or influencing
practice through an individual's research, the accounts in this
book show how research can make a difference. They show how
improvements in management and leadership arising from practitioner
research can contribute to advances in teaching and learning. The
book includes material on how to conduct research, the types of
research which practitioners can carry out in a school or college,
and the implications of research for organizational development.
Readers will be able to draw valuable lessons for personal,
professional, team or school improvement. Practitioner Research In
Education will be useful to students and practitioners of
educational management, to those doing research in educational
settings, and to school managers who are committed to school
improvement.
