Synopsis

This timely resource uncovers the hidden risks that lurk behind the progressive goals of action research and provides a trenchant interpretation of the problems endemic to insider inquiries. Drawing from rich and varied experiences in qualitative research methods and practices, the writers show how current ethical guidelines―even those that focus on qualitative research―fail to address certain issues characteristic of insider research. Their book shatters prevailing assumptions about teacher research and ethics, and at the same time presents diverse voices and perspectives―contributors include K–12 teachers, university-based teacher educators, and school administrators. This critical new text proposes workable guidelines for ethical decision making to assist teacher research teams and the university researchers who collaborate with them.
