- Summary:
-
This book, which focuses on the language arts teacher/researcher, is offered as a testament to teachers' expanding participation in collecting data and building theories about teaching, learning, curriculum, and assessment. The book's 24 chapters are grouped into four parts. The first part addresses general issues about teacher research: its definition, its historical foundations; its challenges and rewards. The second section presents the work of teacher researchers in elementary classrooms. The third section presents studies by secondary teacher researchers; and the final section presents reports by teacher researchers who are working in teacher preparation programs. Chapter titles are: "Reflection, Inquiry, Action" (Leslie Patterson and Patrick Shannon); "Historical Perspectives" (Katherine P. McFarland and John C.
