Böcker av Patrick Alan Danaher

This collection provides evidence-based strategies for conducting effective and ethical education research with individuals and groups who are marginalised from mainstream society. The book explores circus and fairground communities, disabled vocational education students, environmental lobbyists and retired people from across the globe.

Through ten research projects, this book explores the topic of educational learning and development in order to examine issues that are impacting, either positively or negatively, on current research in this area. The authors explore the capacity building potential of the projects and what factors impacted on or assisted their development.

This book investigates nine research projects, exploring why particular capacities are successful in some situations but not in others.

Explores the diverse ways in which traveling groups experience learning 'on the run'. This book engages with themes such as workplace learning, globalization, multiliteracies, and technologies which impinge on the ways mobile groups make sense of themselves as learning communities.

Online learning networks are one way to help pre-service and early career teachers to foster these connections and the greater community of teachers has an interest in helping new teachers to enter the profession.
