From Practice to Praxis is an exploration of the development of
ethical practice as it applies to the meaning of quality within the
tradition of practitioner inquiry and participatory research.
Chronicling some of her most important works, this is a compelling
overview of Susan Groundwater-Smith's contribution to the evolution
of the nexus between thinking and theory as it stands between the
academy and the field. It traces the steps between instrumental
reasoning towards a more liberatory and challenging stance. The
book selects from a number of publications, each representing the
genesis of the nascent ideas that have informed Susan's practice as
a scholar and researcher. Taking a praxis stance draws attention
not only to procedural concerns, how things are done; but also
substantive issues that are associated with different forms of
dialogue and trustworthiness, why things are done. In addition to
the assemblage of articles and chapters, the book is prefaced by a
long essay that reveals those features of the writer's
self-understanding as it is illuminated throughout the selection.
The work is situated within a professional life-history, as well as
relating to extant writings on theory and practice within a complex
cultural and ever-changing professional educational environment.
From Practice to Praxis will appeal to initial teacher education
students in both primary and secondary settings, as well as
post-graduate students with an interest in action
research/participant research with both practitioners in the field
and young people.
