Such a focus serves to (re)produce current educational systems instead of noticing and critiquing the wider modes of domination that permeate schools and school systems. In \u003ci\u003eSocial Theory for Teacher Education Research\u003c\/i\u003e, Kathleen Nolan, Jennifer Tupper and the contributors make arguments for drawing on social theories to inform research in teacher education - research that moves the agenda beyond technical-rational concerns toward building a critically reflexive stance for noticing and unpacking the socio-political contexts of schooling. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The theories discussed include Actor-Network Theory (ANT), Cultural Historical Activity Theory (CHAT) and\u003ci\u003e la didactique du plurilinguisme, \u003c\/i\u003eand social theorists covered include Barad, Bernstein, Bourdieu, Braidotti, Deleuze, Foucault, Heidegger, and Nussbaum. The chapters in this book make explicit how innovative social theory-driven research can challenge and change teacher education practices and the learning experiences of students.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKathleen Nolan\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor in Mathematics Education at the University of Regina, Canada. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eJennifer Tupper\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor and Dean of the Faculty of Education at the University of Alberta, Canada.\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 288\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 25, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51788886835488,"sku":"9781350212251","price":80.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/50c66d2f5c54a67da82fc5d5f038d39a.webp?v=1780662708","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/social-theory-for-teacher-education-research-beyond-the-technical-rational-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
