In the debate regarding what constitutes teachers' work, academics
and bureaucrats continue to speak for teachers, with teachers'
voices rarely heard and not accorded equal recognition. The Role of
Research in Teachers' Work addresses this imbalance by privileging
teachers' voices as they narrate their experiences of engaging in
systematic inquiry. The book embeds the teacher narratives within
the scholarly debates about the nature of knowledge and the nature
of professional practice. Scanlon examines the knowledge teachers
create through their research and how that knowledge is perceived
by others within the school community. This book can be read as a
companion volume to Scanlon's 2015 Routledge publication My School,
or as a standalone exploration of teachers' own narratives of
engaging in action research. Together, these two books are unique
in contemporary writing on schools, representing one of the only
comprehensive longitudinal studies of a low socioeconomic secondary
school from the perspective of those who learn and teach therein.
This book enables teachers to be part of the scholarly conversation
about their work and the place of research in that work. As such,
it should be essential reading for academics, teacher educators and
postgraduates in the field of education. It should also be of
interest to policymakers and teachers.
