ISBN: 9780415113939 / Angielski / Twarda / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the UK and elsewhere, the training of teachers is increasingly seen as a matter of partnership between schools and institutions of higher education.

Situated Ethics in Educational Research
ISBN: 9780415206679 / Angielski / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Ethics has traditionally been seen as a set of general principles which can be applied in a range of situations. This book argues that, in fact, ethical principles must be shaped within different research practices and hence take on different significances according to varying research situations. The book develops the notion of situated ethics and explores how ethical issues are practically handled by educational researchers in the field. Contributors present theoretical models and practical examples of what situated ethics involves in conducting research on specific areas.
