The central concern of Inside/Outside is the assumption that
pedagogical knowledge is generated ""outside-in""; that is, from
the university, to be applied at schools. The first half of this
book provides a thoughtful and thought-provoking conceptual
framework for reading and understanding teacher research, exploring
its history, potential and relationship to university-based
research. Cochran-Smith and Lytle argue that teacher research can
transform, not simply add to, the present knowledge base in the
field, linking research with practice and inquiry with reform. By
doing so, they intend to add dimension and energy to the national
momentum in this area. In the second half of this volume, the
voices of teacher researchers contrast, engage, and combine with
one another as contributors explore the meaning and significance of
their approaches and findings. These authors - who vary in
experience and institutional context as well as in the areas they
teach - not only try to enrich the broader frameworks proposed in
the first section of Inside/Outside, but also enter into the
""national conversation about school reform, teacher
professionalism, multicultural curriculum and pedagogy, and
language and literacy education"". Together, the two parts of
Inside/Out make the case that the relationship of research and
teaching is distinctly non-linear and that important knowledge
about teaching is generated both inside and outside classrooms.
Understanding this relationship has significant implications for
the development of further knowledge and for the transformation of
our schools. This book should be valuable as a text for both
graduate and undergraduate courses in educational research, as well
as graduate courses in language and literacy. It should be of
interest to a broad spectrum of individuals, including preservice
teachers, practitioners, researchers, administrators and curriculum
specialists.
