Opis

This study aims to break through the sterile debate between theory and practice by focusing on teachers as enquirers endeavouring to solve pedagogical problems. By detailed analysis of numerous classroom case studies, Stones shows that true quality teaching is achieved only by sensitivity to the interplay between the processes by which children acquire knowledge, the structure of knowledge within the subject being taught and the context in which the teaching is being done.

Recenzje

`Stones' book makes use of the whole body of empirically based psychological knowledge...It is written with a delightful and welcome lack of jargon and pomposity, it gives one great hope for the future.' - Assessment and Evaluation in Higher Education

`This book is fascinating, Sones raises important issues about the nature of teaching and learning, the structure of knowledge and the assessment of children's learning. (It) is a very important book: essential reading for psychologists, teachers, teacher educators and educational policymakers.' - British Journal of Psychology

`One rarely comes across truly original ideas about teacher education in today's professional literatue. In this context Quality Teaching is like a breath of fresh air in a closed room rapidly becoming filled with imitative rhetoric ...conceptual change is a painful process that often begins with the class of dissenting voices. I can think of no tuer test of one's tolerance for cognotive dissonance than Quality Teaching: provocative, ironic and urbane.' - Educational Researcher
