PREFACE This book represents the culmination of an unusual process of interpretation, negotiation and synthesis. It is the realisation of a vision of an integrated description of classroom practice and learning that motivated the research team members, who are also the chapter authors, during their analysis and in the subsequent integration of their results into the kaleidoscope that is this book. It is not complete. We would be the first to assert that any portrayal of a social setting as complex as a classroom is inevitably incomplete. But not, we think, without value. In part, it was our perception of the inadequacies of previous descriptions of classroo
