Teacher-practitioner research can transform practice and enhance school improvement and attainment. New and innovative approaches led by Teaching Schools (outstanding schools who are following the model of Teaching Hospitals) are beginning to apply the same approaches used in clinical practice to their school improvement focused research work.
In Teacher-Led Research you will learn how to apply similar approaches within your own school and in collaboration with others.
You will:
- Understand what a randomised controlled trial is, why it can establish cause and find out what works'
- Learn to design robust trials, analyse the results and write them up
- Know how to integrate these approaches into school improvement and other research methods at individual classroom and school level
This book will be of interest to anyone who is involved in school-level practitioner research, or who wishes to develop their skills in this area. It will also be of interest to teachers who are beginning university education qualifications.
