Developing Writers

Teaching and Learning in the Digital Age

Annotation This book takes a fresh look at what it means to learn and develop as a writer in response to concerns on both sides of the Atlantic, and elsewhere in the world, about standards in writing.

What is different about composing digitally in writing, compared to composing
with a pen and paper, a typewriter or other 'pre-digital' medium? And what are the
implications of this difference for writing and its development? Such questions ...

Qualitative Research Methods In Psychology: Combining Core Approaches

From core to combined approaches

This book introduces the single use of four widely-used qualitative approaches and then introduces ways and applications of using the approaches in combination. Personal insight into qualitative research practice from each of the contributors covers health psychology, social psychology, criminal psychology, gender studies psychotherapy, counselling psychology and organizational psychology.

In Part 1, we take each method and discuss it in detail in a way that aims to show
how and why you can employ it in your own research. We present some
background to its development and use, and describe various ways in which it is
applied. Typical research questions are described alongside several examples of
its use. Challenges and particular considerations of each method, such as
application, ethics, data elicitation and participant recruitment, are considered.
Each chapter is ...

Action Research For Health And Social Care

A Guide to Practice

* What is action research and how can it best be understood? * How can practitioners use action research to deal with problems and improve services? * What are the different types of action research and which might be most appropriate for use in a particular setting? This book has been designed for use as a core text on research methods courses at undergraduate and postgraduate level and on professional training courses. It is divided into three parts. Part one traces the history of action research and shows the links between its use in education, community development, management research and nursing. Building on this background the book explores different ways in which action research has been defined and proposes four different types, each appropriate to a different problem situation and context. In part two, five case studies of action research are described from the perspective of the researcher, including case studies of success and instructive failure. Part three is designed to enable the reader to find a route through the maze of methods and approaches in action research by the use of such things as self-assessment and mapping exercises, a guide to diary keeping and to evaluation. The final chapter suggests that by developing a 'project perspective' action research can be of practical benefit to health and social care professionals in promoting service improvements.

ACTION RESEARCH IN NURSING Although the use of action research in
nursing has lagged behind its use in education, their lines of development seem
to have converged in the past decade. Meyer (1993: 1066) argues that 'the
development of action research in education is of particular interest to nurses
owing to the parallels that can be drawn with nursing research.' By 1984 action
research was well established in education but, according to Lathlean and
Farnish (1984: 34), had ...

Problem-Based Learning in Higher Education

Untold Stories

This book discloses ways in which learners and teachers manage complex and diverse learning in the context of their lives in a fragile and often incoherent world. It explores both the theory and the practice of problem-based learning and considers the implications of implementing problem-based learning organizationally.

Dialogic learning learning that occurs when insights and understandings emerge
through dialogue in a learning environment. It is a form of learning where
students draw on their own experience to explain the concepts and ideas with
which they are presented, and then use that experience to make sense for
themselves and also to explore further issues. Disjunction: a sense of
fragmentation of part of, or all of, the self, characterized by frustration and
confusion and a loss of sense of ...

Work-Based Learning

This book is a radical approach to the notion of higher education. Students undertake study for a degree or diploma primarily in their workplace and their learning opportunities are not contrived for study purposes but arise from normal work. Work-based Learning is the first comprehensive book on this major innovation.

Challenging Research In Problem-Based Learning

"This is a wide ranging, clearly focused, accessible book that engages with the practices and findings of research into problem-based learning... The book is clear on the problems and the strategies, the debates and the research based practices which make PBL accessible wherever it is suitable for effective learning." Professor Gina Wisker, Anglia Polytechnic University "This book punctures the sometimes inflated rhetoric about PBL by exploring some of its inherent difficulties and contradictions, and moves debate on through critical glimpses of the rich and varied practices undertaken under the banner of PBL." Professor Graham Gibbs, University of Oxford "...provides a wealth of practical and theoretical insights into the challenges of using pbl which will be of value both to those currently using the approach and those thinking of introducing it into their programmes." British Journal of Educational Technology This book presents international research into Problem-based Learning within a range of subject and vocational disciplines, applications and cultures from a variety of perspectives: student, facilitator, module leader, curriculum designer.It presents a range of findings related to designing, implementing, assessing and evaluating PBL courses. Challenging Research in Problem-based Learning is key reading for academics and tutors utilising PBL, as well as those studying for teaching qualifications, lecturers involved in teaching for the professions and on continuing professional development courses.

This part focuses on the student perspective in problem-based learning,
exploring issues related to how students may perceive problem-based learning
and what students learn from problem-based learning in addition to the material
stimulated by the presented problems. Problem-based learning is often credited
with the potential to 'add value' to learning through the acquisition of less tangible
skills such as team management, interviewing, lifelong learning, coping
mechanisms and ...

Facilitating Problem-Based Learning

An exploration of a broad range of issues relating to facilitation. It investigates understandings of facilitation; ways of equipping and supporting staff in terrestrial and virtual contexts; and ways of designing problem-based curricula that enhance learning.

This book has resulted from a number of challenges and concerns that have
emerged from both being a facilitator on various problem—based learning
programmes and equipping other tutors to become facilitators. As a lecturer and
researcher in higher education and as a consultant to those wishing to implement
problem-based learning, I have developed a range of strategies, practices and
perspectives about what appears to help and hinder the facilitation of
problembased learning.

Action Research

These and other questions are answered in this book which offers both a practical step-by-step guide to action research and an examination of the underlying principles and challenges. Action research as an approach aims to generate knowledge and achieve prinicipled change.

One of the principles discussed in the previous chapter, and one of the distinctive
features of action research, is the way in which research is used as a means for
making practical changes. The intention of this chapter is to build upon this ...
