Reviews

'John Loughran has provided a text which recognises not only the methodological challenges which are faced by teacher researchers, but also acknowledges the influence of political agendas in either enhancing or denying opportunities for progress in this area. It is unusual to find an edited text in which every chapter provides an important message supported by practical advice. This book succeeds in raising the profile of a critical debate concerning the future of educational research, and in doing so provides a welcome and refreshing addition to the literature in this area.' - Educational Review
