This book helps teachers, student-teachers, teacher trainers and others interested in the sociology and psychology of education to explore and make better sense of professional practice by examining that practice in the context of popular views.
I read this to get a better grip on what Moore means by a 'reflexive' teacher and this book definitely gave me that. It is a tough read in parts however.
It felt there was a certain amount of padding in the way that the chapters were set up, but if you are like me (a relative novice to the concepts) the redundancy is not unwelcome. If you want a brief overview of the discourses, this is probably not for you. But, if you want to learn about them through the lens of some of Moore's own projects, then this book is quite useful.
