"Polyvocal Professional Learning through Self-Study Research
illustrates the power of “we” for innovative and authentic
professional learning. The 33 contributors to this book include
experienced and emerging self-study researchers, writing in
collaboration, across multiple professions, academic disciplines,
contexts, and continents. These authors have noted and reviewed each
other’s chapters and adapted their contributions to generate a
polyvocal conversation that significantly advances scholarship on
professional learning through self-study research. Building on, and
extending, the existing body of work on self-study research, the book
offers an extensive and in-depth scholarly exploration of the how,
why, and impact of professional learning through context-specific,
practitioner-led inquiry. The chapters illustrate polyvocal
professional learning as both phenomenon and method, with the original
research that is presented in every chapter adding to the forms of
methodological inventiveness that have been developed and documented
within the self-study research community. “This unique book
represents an inspiring step forward in self-study research. Authors
from various continents provide evidence of how the “I” can be
strengthened through the “we” perspective, showing convincingly
how polyvocality, transdisciplinarity, and an intercultural approach
deepen professional learning. This powerful book offers important new
insights for the methodology of self-study, with an impact beyond
teachers and teacher educators.” Fred A. J. Korthagen, Professor
Emeritus at Utrecht University, The Netherlands “A fascinating set
of chapters illustrate the importance of many lenses and many voices
when studying one’s practice. Each chapter testifies that self-study
and its ties to improvement through posing thoughtful questions,
collecting and analyzing relevant data, and interrogating the
interpretation of one’s analysis of self are global and
cross-disciplinary. This book is a must-read!” Renée T. Clift,
Professor and Associate Dean, University of Arizona, USA"
