When the research transforms our practice: Ten stories of teachers and researchers cooperating on action research
Abstract
In this book we present the results of cooperation of ten teacher and researcher pairs in action research aiming to change the practice of classroom teaching. All the research was realized within one project and actin researchers and teachers were meeting regualrly to reflect on the process over 20 months.
The action researches were realized at various levels of education (kindergarten, primary, lower-secondary and upper-secondary) and in different fields of teaching (Language of instruction and foreign language classes, literature, hisotry and mathematics). Each of the research descriptions in 10 chapters follows the same chapter stracture, presenting planning, action realization and evaluation with reflection based on data cpolleciton.
The theoretical chapter describing the aims and various types of action research is included, as well as the chapter on reflection of editors from leading the project and ten pairs in tandem.
