Candlin & Mynard ePublishing: encouraging, exploring, enabling
Call for proposals: New series
Positive Pedagogical Praxis: The Quickstart Series
New Series: 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.
This book series “keeps it short and sweet” for busy teachers: 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 always be ways of implementation of the theory through informed practice, i.e. activities for “doing it” that are feasible to the majority of teachers in the world. The books should allow teachers to “quick-start” in their classes into the area of practice after only reading a few pages. And the book’s follow ups will be loaded with deeper activities and justifications that further enhance teaching and learning.
