The study of a school organization, due to its complexity and multidimensionality, should be approached from a qualitative, constructivist-interpretivist perspective, in which the field diary is an important source of data and an analytical and reflective tool.

Creative self-regulation (CSR) is important in facing the challenges and uncertainty of creative teaching and learning. Our understanding for how teachers develop creative self-regulation skills and knowledge for the classroom remains limited. This longitudinal case study begins to fill this gap with an in-depth investigation of one U.S. high…

This qualitative study examines the experiences of first-year TAs as they conducted teacher research projects in the TA practicum. We argue that teacher research in the practicum provides a way to bridge teaching and knowledge making, foster a continual and layered learning practice, and extend the learning of the practicum beyond the first year.

This paper explores the intersection of interpretation and adult education within women's museums, emphasising the role of interpretation as both an art and a science.
