E. Duckworth
Duckworth studied under educational theorist Jean Piaget, and here she does an excellent job of both explaining his ideas and furthering them into her own research and work with teacher education. Knowledge constructed by you in your own time in your own way is much more deeply understood and becomes a part of you moreso than any knowledge merely told or shown to you. Examines teachers as learners and advocates hands-on learning through experiments and observations, as well as the embracing of complexity in ideas. Trumps the notion that just because one is teaching/demonstrating something in a straightforward manner, that it is "getting through" to a student. - Christina Tran
