History 7-11: Developing Primary Teaching Skills
ISBN: 9780415132817 / Angielski / Miękka / 158 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Using an Action Research approach to improving practice, the authors' own case-study of 'The Vikings' and teachers' accounts are used to illustrate different teaching approaches.
