Sommario/riassunto |
|
"This book provides results from two extensive qualitative studies in South African primary school classrooms--the first on leadership qualities and voting, and the second from a project on writing to read. The authors discuss the studies' central themes of transformation in teaching practice with an emphasis on the role of context"-- |
