Collaborative knowledge creation : practices, tools, concepts
This book presents perspectives on the knowledge creation metaphor of learning, and elaborates the trialogical approach to learning. The knowledge creation metaphor differs from both the acquisition and the participation metaphors. In a nutshell trialogical approaches seek to engage learners in joint work with shared objects and artefacts mediated by collaboration technology. The theoretical underpinnings stem from different origins, including Bereiter and Scardamalia's theory on knowledge building and Engeström's activity theory. The authors in this collection introduce key concepts and techniques, explain tools designed and developed to support knowledge creation, and report results from case studies in specific contexts. The book chapters integrate theoretical, methodological, empirical and technological research, to elaborate the empirical findings and to explain the design of the knowledge creation tools. The target audiences for this book are researchers, teachers and Human Resource developers interested in new perspectives on collaborative learning, technology-mediated knowledge creation, and applications of this in their own settings, for higher education, teacher training and workplace learning. The book is the result of joint efforts from many contributors who took part in the Knowledge-practices Laboratory (KP-Lab) project (2006-2011) supported by EU FP6.

Coteaching in teacher education
This book provides a concise and comprehensive overview of the practice of coteaching, including its benefits and educational and social implications. Coteaching plays an important role in enhancing the experience and effectiveness of pre-service and in-service teachers during school experience at a time when teacher retention rates are a concern both nationally and internationally. Traditional practice in school experience, generally comprising observation followed by complete take-over of classes, has not altered in more than a century, despite significant changes in the role of the teacher, the needs of students, the learning environment and the functioning of schools. Coteaching provides a pedagogy which supports pre-service teachers more actively and promotes teacher professional development, as they work together in co-planning, co-practice and co-evaluating lessons during school-based experience.
Co-teaching in Teacher Education is part of the successful Critical Guides for Teacher Educators series edited by Ian Menter.

Globalisation and Its Effects on Team-Teaching
This book reveals the underlying connections among global issues, national policy-making, and local practices related to partnership, or team-teaching, in English language lessons in the Japanese Junior High School context. It investigates the complex relationship among team-teachers, students, and wider stakeholders, such as the local Board of Education, Ministry of Education and other non-educational influences at the political, social and economic levels. The book offers essential knowledge for scholars, students and policy makers who are interested in, or have experienced, team-teaching in the Japanese school context. Additionally, team-teaching in English classrooms is widely implemented not only in Japan, but also other Asian countries. Similar types of joint instruction are also seen in collaborative teaching in British schools and in European schools in which Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) has been carried out. In this sense, this study into the particular Japanese context provides both valuable insights into the multi-layered influences on Japanese secondary school English education, and also a model of research methodology into team-teaching contexts in wider contexts.
