She has carried out research into the nature of teacher expertise, and, in particular, the ways in which knowledge and learning are implicated in educational practice. This resulted in her book, Understanding Teacher Expertise in Primary Science: A Sociocultural Approach (SENSEpublishers, 2006). Anna has also worked on the relationship between research evidence and practical wisdom, exploring some of the problems facing any notion that effective teaching can simply be an application of the results of scientific research. She has a particular interest in qualitative research methodology and theories of science.

Chloe Roberts Action Learning: Research & Practice What is ethical acting in qualitative research, what want to say it when you act ethical or unethical, and just imagine that how solid are questions at the heart of this book. The introduction is also immediately announced that answering these questions is not easy and that the answers given by the authors are controversial. Such a statement makes me curious and will read something very new in the hope you go with the book to get started. (Translation). -- Lammert Gosse Jansma * KWALON *
