Doing Educational Research: A Handbook
Kenneth Tobin, The Graduate Center, CUNY, USA and Joe Kincheloe, McGill University, Montreal, Canada (eds.)
Doing Educational Research explores a variety of important issues and methods in educational research. Contributors include some of the most important voices in educational research. In the handbook these scholars provide detailed insights into one dimension of the research process that engages both students as well as experienced researchers with key concepts and recent innovations in the domain. The editors and authors believe that there is a need for a handbook on educational research that is both practical as it introduces beginning scholars to the field and innovative as it pushes the boundaries of the conversation about educational research at this historical juncture. The book will be very useful as a text in educational research at the graduate and the undergraduate level.

Teaching to Learn: A View from the Field
Kenneth Tobin, The Graduate Center, CUNY, USA and W. -M. Roth, University of Victoria, Canada
…the two authors of this book have developed coteaching and cogenerative dialoguing, two forms of praxis that allow very different stakeholders to teach and subsequently to reflect together about their teaching…. Teaching to Learn is written for science educators and teacher educators along the professional continuum: new and practicing teachers, graduate students, professors, researchers, curriculum developers, evaluation consultants, science supervisors, school administrators, and policy makers. Thick ethnographic descriptions and specific suggestions provide readers access to resources to get started and continue their journeys along a variety of professional trajectories.

Mathematics Classrooms In Twelve Countries: The Insider’s Perspective
David Clarke, Univ. of Melbourne, Christine Keitel, Freie Univ. Berlin and Yoshinori Shimizu, Univ. of Tsukuba, Japan (eds.)
This book reports the accounts of researchers investigating the eighth grade mathematics classrooms of teachers in Australia, China, the Czech Republic, Germany, Israel, Japan, Korea, The Philippines, Singapore, South Africa, Sweden and the USA…. The Learner’s Perspective Study is guided by a belief that we need to learn from each other. The resulting chapters offer deeply situated insights into the practices of mathematics classrooms in twelve countries: an insider’s perspective.

Making Connections: Comparing Mathematics Classrooms Around The World
David Clarke, Univ. of Melbourne, Jonas Emanuelsson, Gotenborgs Universitet,
Eva Jablonka, Freie Universitat Berlin and Ida Ah Chee Mok, The University of Hong Kong (eds.)
In this book, comparisons are made between the practices of classrooms in a variety of different school systems around the world. The abiding challenge for classroom research is the realization of structure in diversity. The structure in this case takes the form of patterns of participation: regularities in the social practices of mathematics classrooms. The expansion of our field of view to include international rather than just local classrooms increases the diversity and heightens the challenge of the search for structure, while increasing the significance of any structures, once found. In particular, this book reports on the use of ‘lesson events’ as an entry point for the analysis of lesson structure.
