{"product_id":"social-theory-for-teacher-education-research","title":"Social Theory for Teacher Education Research","description":"\u003cp\u003eTraditionally, teacher education research theory and practice have had a technical-rational focus on productions of knowledge, skills, performance and accountability. Such a focus serves to (re)produce current educational systems instead of noticing and critiquing the wider modes of domination that permeate schools and school systems. In \u003ci\u003eSocial Theory for Teacher Education Research\u003c\/i\u003e, Kathleen Nolan, Jennifer Tupper and the contributors make arguments for drawing on social theories to inform research in teacher education — research that moves the agenda beyond technical-rational concerns toward building a critically reflexive stance for noticing and unpacking the socio-political contexts of schooling. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The theories discussed include Actor-Network Theory (ANT), Cultural Historical Activity Theory (CHAT) and\u003ci\u003e la didactique du plurilinguisme, \u003c\/i\u003eand social theorists covered include Barad, Bernstein, Bourdieu, Braidotti, Deleuze, Foucault, Heidegger, and Nussbaum. The chapters in this book make explicit how innovative social theory-driven research can challenge and change teacher education practices and the learning experiences of students.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54226552914264,"sku":"9781350212251","price":41.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781350212251_ba51d374-a3ee-4784-a1c7-73f58244d4af.jpg?v=1770280227","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/social-theory-for-teacher-education-research","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
