This book focuses on the writing process in the self-study of teaching
and teacher education practices. It addresses writing as an area in
which teacher educators can develop their skills and represents how to
write in ways that are compatible with self-study's orientations towards
the inquiry, both personal and on practice.
The book examines effective self-study writing with chapters written by
experienced self-study practitioners. In addition to considering
elements of writing as a method for the self-study of practice, it
delves into the cognitive processes of real writers making explicit
their writing practices. Practical suggestions are connected to the
lived experiences of self-study practitioners making sense of their
field through the process of writing. This book will be of interest to
doctoral and novice self-study writers, and experienced authors seeking
to develop their practice. It demonstrates that writing as a method of
inquiry in self-study and beyond can be learned, modeled and taught.
