This text examines how students and teachers actually go about their classroom business. It avoids the assumptions of policy-makers and theorists about what ought to be happening and focuses on what is happening. It provides a detailed look at how teachers are responding to the National Curriculum. It also features an analysis of teaching and learning strategies, drawing on the psychological theories of Bruner and Vygotsky. This book follows on from Donald McIntyre's previous book, "Making Sense of Teaching" and is intended for student teachers, teachers studying for advanced degrees and academics involved in teacher education.
