Opening The Classroom Door - Teacher, Researcher, Learner (Paperback)

This account tracks the return to teaching of John Loughran, a teacher educator and educational researcher. After years of educating student teachers, he went back into the classroom for a year to practice what he himself had been teaching, but was often met with difficult pupil behaviour and unforeseen problems.

Split into three sections, this book covers:

* a teachera (TM)s perspective on teaching
* the studentsa (TM) perspective on teaching and learning
* learning from experience a " the implications for teaching and learning.

Using Loughrana (TM)s extensive teaching experience, this book describes how the classroom situations were played out and lessons to be learned.
