Download or read book Researching School Experience written by Martyn Hammersley and published by Routledge. This book was released on 1999-09-09 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a tendency in much educational thinking to view pupils in passive terms, as the material on which schools operate. This damaging view is challenged here. Significant recent research shows the effects of changing educational conditions on the experience of teaching and learning in schools. By redressing the balance and acknowledging the affective side of pupils and their learning, this book shows that improved understanding leads to improved teaching.
