Wright, Jan – Australian Educational Researcher, 2008
In March 2004, Stephen Ball and others presented a symposium at the conference of the British Educational Research Association (BERA) on the necessity of theory in educational research. Like Ball, I have observed that theory, not just social theory, is a difficult space and one that divides researchers (those comfortable with theory and those less…

Brown, Helen – Routledge, Taylor & Francis Group, 2012
This new book presents case studies from the US, the UK and Japan.

Kinchin, Ian Miles; Hatzipanagos, Stylianos; Turner, Nancy – Journal of Further and Higher Education, 2009
Development of a more scholarly approach to teaching at university may expose the novice university teacher to an apparent conflict in belief systems about teaching and learning (i.e. epistemological beliefs). Educational research is explicit in its recognition of a constructivist framework, whilst other academic research is often embedded more…

Childs, Peter E. – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2009
Despite several decades of research into the teaching and learning of Science/Chemistry, at both secondary and tertiary level, it has had relatively little impact on practice.

Flintoff, A.; Fitzgerald, H.; Scraton, S. – International Studies in Sociology of Education, 2008
Researching the intersection of class, race, gender, sexuality and disability raises many issues for educational research. Indeed, Maynard (2002, 33) has recently argued that "difference is one of the most significant, yet unresolved, issues for feminist and social thinking at the beginning of the twentieth century". This paper reviews…

Baumfield, Vivienne; Butterworth, Marie – Teachers and Teaching: Theory and Practice, 2007
Whilst there is a growing body of literature on practitioner research and the role of collaborations and partnerships that include universities in that process, there are relatively few studies examining the role of the university in any depth. We reflect on 12 years of working in school-university collaborative research partnerships through an…
