Aprašymas

A volume in The Handbook of Research in Middle Level Education series(Sponsored by the Middle Level Education Research Special Interest Groupand the National Middle School Association )The need for continued research at the middle level is clear and urgent. The previous volumes in thisHandbook series testify to this urgency. While quantitative studies continue to be essential, there is a criticalneed to understand the complexities of the middle level community. One way to capture the rich, diversemosaic of the voices and experiences of middle level participants and stakeholders is to use narrative inquirymethodology. The intent of this volume in The Handbook is to give voice to and broaden our understanding ofthe wide variety of participants and stakeholders who weave through the middle level. Such participants and stakeholders may include middle levelteachers, school psychologists and counselors, students, parents, administrators, middle level researchers, research foundations, and communitygroups. In addition to hearing directly from these groups, this volume will focus on the intricate webs, connections and questions that these narrativeshold and frame them within current middle level research, theory, and practice. Ultimately this volume will highlight the nuance, diversity and futuredirections that research may need to explore.
