PRACTITIONER RESEARCH IN TEACHER EDUCATION KART...

Over the past decade there has been increased interest in teachers' investigation of their own
practice in their classrooms. Practitioner research is not a new concept in education and many
teachers have attempted to enact and study their own practices with the view of improving
teaching effectiveness. However  the findings of many of these studies are often not treated
seriously by education scholars and policymakers  and not disseminated to others. In fact  the
research process is perceived more as a professional development exercise for teachers to
improve upon their own practices. Despite these criticisms  there is growing support for
getting teachers to study their practices in the context of their own classrooms. This book has
the potential of generating knowledge that not only informs and shapes teachers' practices and
professional development  but also makes the stakeholders aware of critical education issues.
Distinct from action research  practitioner research provides the platform for teachers to try
out ideas in practice as a means of improvement and of increasing knowledge about curriculum 
teaching  and learning  and the ways of transforming them.
