This is a book about an attempt to change the way math was taught
in a particular classroom. Its title plays on our everyday usage of
the terms theory and practice. In education, these terms are
conventionally treated oppositionally-we have theories about what
we should do and we have what teachers actually do do. In this way,
theory stands prior, logically and chronologically, to practice;
practice inevitably becoming theory's imperfect realization. We
seek in this volume, however, to develop a different stance with
regard to the relationship between the two. Taking the details of
instructional practice as our principle object of study, we explore
what role theories of learning might play in illuminating such
practices. The book is about actual practices by which teaching is
done and how contemporary theories of learning might help us
understand those practices. It seeks to provide a foundation for
future practice-based inquiry in education, by addressing the
methodological question: How do we go about studying instructional
practice in a principled way?
