"AFTER METHODS, WHAT THEN?"
"I begin with a critical look at the history of ‘methods’ to examine whether and, if so, why a 'post-method condition' has arisen. Concrete suggestions for moving ‘beyond’ methods have been rare, and so I explain and illustrate some possible approaches to the development of contextually appropriate methodology – via sharing of locally defined successes, via engagement in realistic teacher-research, and via collaboration within teacher networks and associations. Finally, I return to history and suggest that another way forward may lie, paradoxically, in rediscovering useful traditions." Dr Richard Smith
