{"product_id":"social-theory-for-teacher-education-kathleen-nolan-9781350212251","title":"Social Theory for Teacher Education Research: Beyond the Technical-Rational","description":"Traditionally, teacher education research theory and practice have had a technical-rational focus on productions of knowledge, skills, performance and accountability. Such a focus serves to (re)produce current educational systems instead of noticing and critiquing the wider modes of domination that permeate schools and school systems. In \u003ci\u003eSocial Theory for Teacher Education Research\u003c\/i\u003e, Kathleen Nolan, Jennifer Tupper and the contributors make arguments for drawing on social theories to inform research in teacher education - research that moves the agenda beyond technical-rational concerns toward building a critically reflexive stance for noticing and unpacking the socio-political contexts of schooling. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The theories discussed include Actor-Network Theory (ANT), Cultural Historical Activity Theory (CHAT) and\u003ci\u003e la didactique du plurilinguisme, \u003c\/i\u003eand social theorists covered include Barad, Bernstein, Bourdieu, Braidotti, Deleuze, Foucault, Heidegger, and Nussbaum. The chapters in this book make explicit how innovative social theory-driven research can challenge and change teacher education practices and the learning experiences of students\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kathleen Nolan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350212253\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350212251\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/25\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.60d","brand":"Kathleen Nolan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44064357482751,"sku":"9781350212251","price":42.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fee2a78a-e182-4a8b-b38e-097e46758391.jpg?v=1685395004","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/social-theory-for-teacher-education-kathleen-nolan-9781350212251","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
