PA team of researchers centred at the University of Melbourne each withparticular areas of expertise contributed their analyses of a sharedcollection of videotape interview and documentary data. The result is avariegated picture of science and mathematics classrooms that challenges aresearch tradition that converges on the truth. In this book we surround youwith different images of the classroom. It is hoped that some will addressissues of interest some will confirm beliefs you have long held some willchallenge these same beliefs and some may surprise you. PPThe resultingaccount should appeal to educational researchers research students andpractitioners with an interest in optimising the effectiveness of classrooms asenvironments for learning.
