It explores critical self-study of teacher education practices as the systematic investigation of professional practice for self-improvement and the advancement of social justice by resisting inequitable systems, practices, and deficit-based ideologies. The volume provides readers with a conceptual and practical guide on the research of practice as connected with, and part of, social justice movements and equity efforts. Its major contribution is the articulation of 3 guiding commitments, or principles, that undergird critical self-study research: The first is engaging with critical consciousness; followed by enabling equity through methodology; and the final one is enacting advocacy. The text attends to ways researchers can employ critical self-study to conceptualize, investigate, and report their practices and situate issues of power, privilege, and oppression. A distinct feature of the book is the articulation of equity-based considerations for the development, deployment, and dissemination of a critical self-study. Guiding prompts, exercises, and suggested readings are provided to support readers of the volume in designing their own critical self-studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"xelementtoproof\" style=\"margin: 0cm; margin-bottom: .0001pt; background: white; vertical-align: baseline;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"xelementtoproof\" style=\"margin: 0cm; margin-bottom: .0001pt; background: white; vertical-align: baseline;\"\u003eSelf-study researchers, critical pedagogues and researchers, and scholar-practitioners will benefit from the unification of critical inquiry and criticality with self-study research. This volume invites self-study researchers to engage in critical explorations, and critical researchers to engage with self-study methods. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2025-11-20\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783032081384\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-032-08139-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 279\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44481802272908,"sku":"9783032081384","price":116.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783032081384.jpg?v=1772827719","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783032081384","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
