The educational world is increasingly dominated by network rhetoric; not only are teachers and learners seen as participants in networks, the availability of low-cost electronic devices, collaborative environments and new forms of data
Reviews / Votes
'Amidst the banal talk these days about networks as though they are inevitable in teacher practice, professional learning, technology and research, here at last is an informative and critical discussion. Carmichael offers a clear map through the multifarious forms, perspectives and uses of networking practices, and thoughtful approaches for those struggling with the 'ducking and diving' processes of researching in, and about, networks in education.' Tara Fenwick, Professor of Education, University of Stirling, UK 'Patrick Carmichael has offered us a remarkable tour de force on the nature and role of networks and networking in educational research. The book provides a superb synthesis of social theory, original empirical research and personal expertise that will guide the debate and thinking on research capacity building for many years to come.' Dean Garratt, Reader in Education, Faculty of Education and Children's Services, University of Chester, UKMore details
