| Summary |
"The case studies in this book are based on transcripts of classroom interaction in nine different countries. In each chapter, the first author explains the specific context and through a theoretical and/or experiential perspective interprets the transcript data. The data are then re-interpreted by other authors in the book, illustrating the complexity and richness of interpretation and creating a dialogue among the book's contributors. At the end of each chapter, readers are invited to join in the conversation by providing their own interpretations of other transcript data from the same context. The book will be useful for student teachers or practising professionals, as well as all educators interested in exploratory classroom research."--BOOK JACKET |
