Ethical Issues in Practitioner Research

By Jane Zeni

Book Overview

This timely resource uncovers the hidden risks that lurk behind the progressive goals of action research and provides a trenchant interpretation of the problems endemic to insider inquiries. Drawing from rich and varied experiences in qualitative research methods and practices, the writers show how current ethical guidelines--even those that focus on qualitative research--fail to address certain issues characteristic of insider research. Their book shatters prevailing assumptions about teacher research and ethics, and at the same time presents diverse voices and perspectives--contributors include K-12 teachers, university-based teacher educators, and school administrators. This critical new text proposes workable guidelines for ethical decision making to assist teacher research teams and the university researchers who collaborate with them.
