Student Voice and Teacher Professional Development

Abstract

The aim of this opening chapter is to identify the pedagogical motivation which led to the study presented in this book—and the subsequent premise that there needs to be a step change in terms of recognising how pupils may support their teachers with their professional development activity. The bodies of literature which are of relevance here concern student voice and teacher professional development (TPD), and their significance is briefly outlined before presenting the research setting, the research questions and the data collection methods used. A brief section follows which provides a lexicon of the terminology used in this book before ending with outlines of the remaining chapters.
