This book provides a clear framework for developing a sound structure for your thesis, using a simple approach to make it watertight, defensible and clear.

Writing as a Method for the Self-Study of Practice (Self-Study of Teaching and Teacher Education Practices #23)
by Julian KitchenThis book focuses on the writing process in the self-study of teaching and teacher education practices.

Practical suggestions are connected to the lived experiences of self-study practitioners making sense of their field through the process of writing. This book will be of interest to doctoral and novice self-study writers, and experienced authors seeking to develop their practice.
