Focal Points: Qualitative Inquiries Into Teaching and Teacher Education

Description

The focus of this monograph is on the distinctions between questions addressed in research on teaching and issues of concern in teacher education and on the interplay of curricular, contextual, and pedagogical issues in both public schools and university settings. The publication is organized into seven chapters: (1) "Action Research and the Work of Teachers" (Susan E. Noffke); (2) "Developing Reflective Practice in Initial Teacher Education Courses: The Place of Reading and Writing" (Peter Lucas and Jean Rudduck); (3) "Personal Perspectives and Learning To Teach Writing" (Mary Louise Gomez and Trish L. Stoddard); (4) "Mathematics in Elementary School Tasks" (Ralph T. Putnam); (5) "Learning in Classroom Settings: Making or Breaking a Culture" (Elaine C. Collins and Judith L. Green); (6) "Teacher Culture from the Inside: A Case Study of Change from the Perspective of Active Participant Observer" (Joyce Henstrand-May); and (7) "Moving Pictures, Multiple Frames" (Renee T. Clift and Carolyn M. Evertson). (References are appended to chapters.) (LL)
