A wide range of issues is explored in these papers, examining the research partnership between higher education and schools in order to support both initial and in-service teacher education. Papers are from the USA, Britain and the Netherlands.
Issues relate to whole school improvement as well as the classroom.
This publication is a mixture of serious comment and enquiry with light-hearted comments and entertainment from the 1989 conference. It includes the diary notes of a conference visitor from the Netherlands. With the emphasis on processes, this volume explores the relationship between reflection and action. Social action is seen as complex and problematic, by dynamic, and open to improvement when illuminated by reflection. This publication demonstrates that individuals, groups, or individuals who are engaged in action research can respond both practically and theoretically to new situations and issues in education.
