商品簡介
Action research is tailor-made for classroom teachers wishing to work with their university-based colleagues in mutually exploring their teaching, exploring and testing new ideas along with new methods and materials, to reflect on their work, and to make better-informed decisions. Contributors cover a variety of subjects and projects, including the increasing importance of action-based research in developing middle school education, and studies such as the effects of certain motivating factors in student achievement and self-efficacy, using "manipulatives" in math, developing teacher collaboration, studying a school in crisis through a preservice team, developing an alternative certification program, teaching aspiring administrators and master teachers, using inquiry methods, teaching strategic readers, framing university-school collaboration and finding resources.
