| Schools learning from schools: exploring the dynamics of interorganisational development and professional knowledge-building (Entry 2011) |
Dr David Eddy Spicer focuses on the dynamics of innovation in education, with particular attention to authority and leadership, collaborative inquiry in professional settings, organisational change and the role of new technologies in these areas. Current research explores interorganisational change in school-to-school partnerships through study of the connections amongst schooling as an institution, the organisation of innovatory educational practice and collective knowledge-building of staff in state-maintained secondary schools. Conceptual frameworks of relevance to this research programme include cultural-historical and sociocultural perspectives on the relationships of society, institution and person. He has over twenty-five years of experience in qualitative and mixed-methods research and has developed an extensive body of case studies in public sector administration. |
