Decolonizing Transcultural Teacher Education through Participatory Action Research (Routledge Research in Decolonizing Education)

"This volume describes a Participatory Action Research (PAR) project involving educators from Belize and the US to illustrate the critical role of shared dialogue in transnational teacher education. First identifying issues which inhibited the success of formerly didactic training delivered to Belizean teachers by US educators, this volume documents the transformational impact of a shift to collaborative training approaches and uses first-person accounts from Belizean and US stakeholders to illustrate their successes. Chapters powerfully illustrate that by engaging in Freirean-like dialogue and building relationships based on a mutual understanding of the cultural and historical context, as well as the identity of educators involved, partners are better able to engage in effective transnational pedagogical collaboration. Particular attention is paid to the importance of acknowledging the post-colonial setting and unique positionality of teachers in Belize. This text will benefit researchers, academics, and educators with an interest in action research and teacher research, multicultural education, and continued professional development in particular. Those interested in teacher training, education research, and international and comparative education will also benefit from this book"--

Focus Groups

Focus Groups: From Structured Interviews to Collective Conversations is a conceptual and practical introduction to focus group. As the title indicates, focus groups traditionally encompass a wide range of discursive practices. These span from formal structured interviews with particular people assembled around clearly delimited topics to less formal, open-ended conversations with large and small groups that can unfold in myriad and unpredictable ways. Additionally, focus groups can and have served many overlapping purposes―from the pedagogical, to the political, to the traditionally empirical. In this book, focus groups are systematically explored; not as an extension or elaboration of interview work alone, but as its own specific research method with its own particular affordances. This book comprehensively explores: <ul>
<li>The nature of focus groups</li> <li>Politic and activist uses of focus groups</li> <li>Practical ways to run a successful focus group</li> <li>Effective analysis of focus group data</li> <li>Contemporary threats to focus groups</li> </ul>
Focus Groups: From Structured Interviews to Collective Conversations is essential reading for qualitative researchers at every level, particularly those involved in education, nursing, social work, anthropology, and sociology disciplines.

Theory for Education: Adapted from Theory for Religious Studies, by William E. Deal and Timothy K. Beal (theory4)

Theory for Education provides a concise and clear introduction to key contemporary theorists, including their lives, major works and ideas. Written for the student in need of a quick introduction or for the scholar brushing up on details, this new volume in the theory4 series presents major thinkers whose work and ideas have shaped critical thinking in our time. Greg Dimitriadis and George Kamberelis underscore the particular relevance of these thinkers for the field of education - their work on education, how others in education have used them and possible future directions for teachers and researchers. Theory for Education's ease of use, clarity and comprehensive scope will be invaluable for those entering the field. Adapted from Theory for Religious Studies, by William E. Deal and Timothy K.

<ul>
<li> Discuss key philosophical concepts and traditions central to various theories, approaches, and strategies of qualitative inquiry.</li>
<li> Offer a broad introduction to prominent theorists and researchers who contributed to the emergence and proliferation of qualitative inquiry as a strategic force within educational research, including Dell Hymes, Shirley Brice Heath, Courtney Cazden, Ruth Behar, Norman Denzin, and Patti Lather. </li>
<li> Provide annotations of both classic and contemporary studies of language and literacy practice that represent major approaches to qualitative inquiry.</li>
<li> Argue that qualitative inquiry has become a “transdisciplinary metadiscourse” that now drives research across many disciplines.</li>
</ul>
