Divided into three parts, Educational Change and Practitioner Enquiry begins by introducing practitioner enquiry, exploring the principles of enquiry-based practice and issues of data alongside the landscapes of educational change. Chapters in part two then offer real-life case studies of people using practitioner enquiry or supporting those working with these methods to improve educational practice and ultimately the outcomes for children. These narratives are taken from practitioners and academics working with a diverse range of age groups and settings across public and private educational contexts, including Catholic schools and community child care. This multi perspective real research helps to inform and inspire those across a range of backgrounds and expertise wanting to facilitate practitioner inquiry initiatives themselves. This book is ideal for students wanting to know what it is really like to do action research - what happened, why, what was learnt and what were the outcomes. The final section concludes the book by critically reflecting upon practitioner enquiry, providing guidance for those interested in this change methodology. Throughout, the authors analyse the issues that can arise during practitioner enquiry initiatives to provide both critique and also assist students and practitioners in applying the process in their own settings. Together this experienced author team illustrate the power of action research to facilitate positive, practice-improving change and suggest how others might use this methodology to extend current thinking and evaluation.
