{"product_id":"the-role-of-research-in-lesley-scanlon-9781138701267","title":"The Role of Research in Teachers' Work: Narratives of Classroom Action Research","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the debate regarding what constitutes teachers' work, academics and bureaucrats continue to speak for teachers, with teachers' voices rarely heard and not accorded equal recognition. \u003ci\u003eThe Role of Research in Teachers' Work\u003c\/i\u003e addresses this imbalance by privileging teachers' voices as they narrate their experiences of engaging in systematic inquiry. The book embeds the teacher narratives within the scholarly debates about the nature of knowledge and the nature of professional practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eScanlon examines the knowledge teachers create through their research and how that knowledge is perceived by others within the school community. This book can be read as a companion volume to Scanlon's 2015 Routledge publication \u003ci\u003eMy School\u003c\/i\u003e, or as a standalone exploration of teachers' own narratives of engaging in action research. Together, these two books are unique in contemporary writing on schools, representing one of the only comprehensive longitudinal studies of a low socioeconomic secondary school from the perspective of those who learn and teach therein. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book enables teachers to be part of the scholarly conversation about their work and the place of research in that work. As such, it should be essential reading for academics, teacher educators and postgraduates in the field of education. It should also be of interest to policymakers and teachers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lesley Scanlon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138701262\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138701267\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/05\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Lesley Scanlon","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48113284415743,"sku":"9781138701267","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b8a9c7d3-209d-4f57-8fda-593f4a7ed83e.jpg?v=1769614082","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-role-of-research-in-lesley-scanlon-9781138701267","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
