Abstract:

Grounded in postmodern perspectives on teaching, this much-needed edited 
volume offers fascinating insights into observation of teaching. It is divided 
into five parts. In the first part, the authors provide interesting insights into 
how they view research on teaching and observation of teaching as a form of 
professional development and a mandatory reflective practice. In the second 
part, the authors voice different perspectives on critical self-reflective inquiry. 
They discuss how reflective practices can lead to self-awareness of their 
work in the classroom. What follows, each author, in the third part, highlights 
the idea that observing others' practices can be a repertoire of exploring 
alternative pedagogies and ways to (co) and (re)construct what one does as a 
teacher. In the fourth part, the authors provide readers with a solid 
understanding of the visible and invisible power issues pervasive in 
institutional contexts. 

By conducting post-observation sessions and reflecting on those sessions, 
teachers, teacher educators, and teacher researchers can begin to unpack 
the sociocultural and sociopolitical contexts of teaching. In the last part, the 
authors document critical reflections on collaborative work between teacher 
educators from two different content areas, teacher educators and classroom 
teachers working with science education students, and a teacher educator 
looking to develop an effective, contextualized teacher education program 
model as a way to foster cultural competence among teacher learners from 
diverse backgrounds.

Thus, this edition provides readers with a complete picture of 
reconceptualizing their teaching via engaging in critical reflections, observing 
other teachers' classroom practices, and challenging their views on how 
teaching is intimately connected to the world they live in. Therefore, this 
edited collection is a useful guide and resource book for pre- and in-service 
teachers who wish to be involved in observation of teaching as a research 
and teacher professional development tool.
