Parents Who Teach: Stories from Home and from School (Teacher Development)

This is a collection of stories based on extensive interviews with parents who teach, providing a study of how parenthood affects teachers' careers. Exploring the link between raising one's own children and educating others, the author of this book asks whether male or female teachers are most affected by parenthood. Does parenthood affect the career ambitions of teachers? Do mothers and fathers differ in this respect? The book offers an accessible study of an often neglected area of educational research.

This book looks at the renewed popularity of life history research, especially among scholars studying education. It examines the reasons behind this popularity and the life history approach's contribution to the study of schooling. Theoretical, methodological, ethical, and practical issues are illustrated with examples from life history research.

Life History Research in Educational Settings: Learning from Lives (Doing Qualitative Research in Educational Settings)

Goodson, Ivor

Open Univ Pr

"This is a book for everyone doing educational research. It is not simply a routine provocation directed at positivists by a group of researchers advocating qualitative methods. The book makes a valuable contribution to the literature on the ethics of educational research by offering something more than opposition to the narrow utilitarian research agenda." British Journal of Educational Studies
 The Moral Foundations of Educational Research considers what is distinctive about educational research in comparison with other research in the social sciences. 
As the contributors all agree that education is always an essentially moral enterprise, discussion about methodology starts, not with the widely endorsed claim that educational research should be 'useful' and 'relevant', but with the attempt to justify and elaborate that claim with reference to its moral foundations. Determining the nature of 'usefulness' and 'relevance' is not simply a matter of focussing on impact and influence but involves a radical re-conceptualisation of the moral and educational significance of what is deemed to be 'useful' and 'relevant'. There is no argument with this emphasis on the generation of 'useful' and 'relevant' knowledge, but it is suggested that educational research requires a fuller and more rounded understanding that takes account of the moral values of those who conduct it. Educational research is grounded, epistemologically, in the moral foundations of educational practice. It is the epistemological and moral purposes underlying the 'usefulness' and 'relevance' of educational research that matter.

Researching Sex and Lies in the Classroom: Allegations of Sexual Misconduct in Schools

The Anglophone world is gripped by a moral panic centred on child abuse in general and fear of the paedophile in particular. Evidence suggests an alarming rise in the number of false allegations of sexual abuse being made against teachers, and demonstrates that the fallout from being falsely accused is far-reaching and sometimes tragic. Many people in this position cannot sustain family relationships, have breakdowns, and are often unable to return to the classroom when their ordeal is over. Researching Sex and Lies in the Classroom draws on in-depth qualitative research exploring the experiences, perceptions and consequences for those who have been falsely accused of sexual misconduct with pupils, and for the family members, friends and colleagues affected by or involved in the accusation process. The book also highlights the dilemmas and difficulties the authors themselves have faced researching this field, such as: <ul>
<li>ethical and methodological concerns over whether or not the teachers had indeed been falsely accused, or were guilty and taking advantage of this project to construct an alternative, innocent identity </li> <li>the difficulty of obtaining institutional ethical clearance to undertake and publish research which challenges master narratives concerning children and their protection </li> <li>the reluctance of funders to support research in controversial and sensitive areas. </li> </ul>
Researching Sex and Lies in the Classroom reveals findings which are both informative and shocking. It interrogates the appropriateness of current investigative and judicial procedures and practices, and it raises general questions about the surveillance and control of research and academic voice. It will be of great benefit to academics and researchers interested in this field, as well as postgraduate students, teachers and other professionals working with the fear of allegations of abuse.
