Positive Pedagogical Praxis

Series editor: Tim Murphey

We invite teachers, researchers, and theorists who are passionate about their ways of teaching to describe them practically and theoretically to allow others to use them with confidence and insight. These may include unusual ways of approaching teaching, but still grounded in theory.
 
Good praxis is the positive interaction of useful theory and practice, with each being inspired by the other. In this series we welcome practically oriented teaching procedures that segue into understandable theory, as well as well-grounded theories that lead us to performative pedagogies. Good practice when researched well creates theory that can spread more widely. Good theory when implemented well can be researched so that others can become aware of ways to use it in their own teaching environments.
 
The theory, while very important, takes up just enough space to justify its use practically and includes a lot of references that readers can access if they wish to read more about the research. The main emphasis for the greater part of the books will be ways of implementing the theory through informed practice, i.e., activities that are feasible to the majority of teachers in the world. The books should allow teachers to implement ideas easily in their classes into the area of practice.

Features:
  • The books are easy to read and the procedures and activities easy to implement.
  • The books are written in a teacher-friendly, down to earth, non-abstract style.
  • The books are focused on activities (although theoretically grounded) and with ample references for further reading if teachers desire more. 
  • The books are between 20,000 and 50,000 words.
  • The books will be published as ebooks and also in paperback.
