This book presents a wide range of methodological perspectives on researching what teachers think and do in language teaching. It contains chapters by the editors and a leading teacher cognition researcher that highlight key themes, as well as eight case studies by new researchers, recounting their experience of designing and using data collection tools.
This book provides a behind-the-scenes perspective on how new researchers designed their first major studies and how they navigated issues of reliability and validity. In addition, the expert comments adds an additional layer of understanding of how a study can achieve coherence between research questions, design, and analysis. A very insightful read; I highly recommend it!
