Recenzje

'... packed with references to research and relevant literature ... useful because it's designed to provoke discussion and reflection ... A must for teachers who are studying or thinking about developments in teaching and learning.' - Gerald Haigh, Times Educational Supplement

'I would have no qualms about recommending this book to students and teachers as a valuable source of ideas and perspectives ... Moore is to be congratulated on providing such a thought-provoking read and for bringing to the fore key aspects of teaching and learning' - Dr Keith S. Taber, Escalate

Reviewed alongside Understanding Schools and Schooling, by Clyde Chitty:'Avoid being constructed as unreflective and uncritical imbibers of the latest pedagogical quackery. Put the supply-budget to proper use by picking up a copy of these two books and doing your own INSET. You will recover what it means to be seen as a thoughtful, highly-skilled professional with a continuing interest in and concern for the intellectual complexities and demands of the job. You will be given knowledge, a reading-list and useful things to think about and do. You will not be patronised Both these books take teachers and teaching seriously. They serve to remind us genuinely, without flattery, glibness or show, of the complexity, importance, difficulty and value of what we do, and they will help us do it in a more fully informed, knowledgeable way. In short they will help us do it better read these books and talk the rest of the staff into reading them.' - Patrick Yarker, Forum
