Critical Publishing produce an excellent series of books called “Critical Guides for Teacher Educators” which I have so often found helpful for both shaping and challenging my thinking on teacher training, education and development. One of their latest additions to this series is this fantastic book by Ben Knight.

In their appropriately-named book, Thomas Perry and Rebecca Morris outline the key challenges faced by those in education who are seeking to be critical consumers of research. The book first helps it readers to understand what educational research actually is. It then maps out some of the prevailing research traditions, and the different ways those working in education attempt to use these categories of research to shape and inform practice.
