You and Your Living-Educational Theory: How to Conduct a Values-Based Inquiry for Human Flourishing
About this ebook
There are four parts to the book, guiding readers through the process of creating and sharing their own living-educational-theory:
- Part One is designed to meet the needs of the beginning researcher as they start a project to improve their practice
- Part Two builds on Part One to address the deeper, more complex requirements of those interested in more academic projects potentially for accreditation at the Master’s level
- Part Three is a description and explanation of the history and context of Living Educational Theory Research with a focus on doctoral degrees
- Part Four focuses on applying this knowledge more widely to living our educational responsibilities as global citizens
This book will serve as a useful guide, as opposed to a fixed template, to support readers in living their values more fully. It is an essential resource for all practitioners interested in establishing a Culture of Inquiry to create their own living-educational-theories. These are explanations of values-based professional development within their school community and can be submitted for academic accreditation.
