商品簡介
Goodson (learning theory, U. of Brighton and U. of Plymouth, UK) and Anstead, a consultant who specializes in leadership, society, and organizational culture, explore the history of the Beal Technical School in London to demonstrate the methods and problems involved in researching the story of a school, showing education history scholars and researchers guidelines and examples for doing so. They describe the use of qualitative, quantitative, and oral sources, and their experiences with them, then provide a historical narrative of the school's history based on traditional archival sources. They detail an approach based on critical incidents, their experience of research shown through a methodological diary, their examination of a specific curricular subject at the school, how popular memory constructs an alternative history of a school, and how to study a school's everyday life.
