This accessible guide provides practical support on becoming research engaged and research active within the school and beyond. It explores the meaning of research and clarifies multiple types of research which lead to different views on ‘what works’, all whilst showing how to engage with the latest educational findings and how to conduct classroom-based research as part of career-long professional development.
Divided into three parts, this book examines the various understandings of being ‘research-engaged’ and covers key issues such as:
- Finding and interpreting research
- How to apply and evaluate findings in reliable ways
- Planning and carrying out a classroom-based project
- Building a culture of research within a school
- Establishing local research networks
- Publishing work
Illustrated with inspiring examples of how to these implement ideas in schools, The Teachers’ Guide to Research is perfect for practicing schools teachers, student teachers and educational leaders who are looking to expand their research knowledge and rekindle their professional curiosity.
"I have read several books of this nature aimed at classroom practitioners, but this one has a contemporary feel and includes references to current debates. It successfully articulates the need for research-informed practitioners and is another tool in the armoury of a profession that desperately needs to able to stand up to politicians." - Peter Ford, Schools Week
"I think that Dr Firth’s book will be welcomed by trainee teachers, their research supervisors and trainers, and practicing teachers alike. Indeed, the book as a whole is, in my view, to be highly recommended to these reader audiences, and on a personal note, I intend to lose no time in making such recommendations myself." - Dr Stephen James Minton, The Psychology of Education Review
