Teachers are encouraged to collect data about their own teaching; to examine their attitudes, beliefs, and assumptions; and then to use the information obtained as a basis for critical reflection on teaching practices. The approach is not linked to a particular method, but rather can be applied to a variety of approaches and teaching situations. Each chapter includes thought-provoking questions and activities appropriate for group discussion or self-study UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/description/cam025/93004305.html UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/cam028/93004305.html ER -
