Conducting research as a beginning teacher-researcher can be daunting. Becoming a Teacher-Researcher: A Guide to Your Research Journey supports you through navigating that journey. This book provides key insights from 18 experienced teacher-researchers on every step of the research journey from developing a research question and conceptual framework through to data gathering tools, analysis, and considering ethics.

Topics covered include: · How do you develop precision and clarity in the search for answers to research questions? · Why do I need a conceptual framework anyway? · How can you address the power imbalance between researcher and participants? · How do you choose an appropriate data-gathering tool? · What research tools might be appropriate to use with young school age children? · How do you address ethical issues when engaged in online research?

Each critiques what is required at that point of the journey, and offers peer-support guidance from the author team who share their most significant learning, the influences that shaped their decision making and the associated impact of their choices on other steps of the journey.
