Practitioner research offers a distinctive platform for educators to develop and share their professional expertise. It is the only approach that fully recognises the vital role practitioners play in generating and applying new knowledge in education.

The BERA Guide to Practitioner Research is a companion guide for those who see themselves as practitioner researchers or those who are interested in becoming practitioner researchers within educational settings. Chapters highlights the considerations for understanding and engaging in practitioner research by drawing upon a range of case studies that exemplify the varied forms practitioner research can take, the influence it can have, and the subsequent questions it may raise for how we understand research and the role and relationship between teachers and higher education.

Grounded in concrete examples of the characteristics and possibilities of educational practitioner research, The BERA Guide to Practitioner Research usefully illustrates the characteristics, principles, strategies, and challenges by presenting a range of real-world examples of practitioner research projects and reveals the variety of practitioner researcher roles and projects, promoting the voices of practitioner researchers in their educational settings.
