Chapter 1. General introduction
teachers could achieve both the goals of the innovation (the developed teaching approach) and their own objectives in a way that fitted in with and built on what they were already doing in their teaching practice. To this end, self-evaluations by the teachers (n=11) of their own teaching practice were used. These self-evaluations included visual representations of their regular teaching practices and intended goals. They were used to determine how teachers implemented the different principles of the new teaching approach in consecutive lesson series and to describe the teachers’ learning routes. In addition, the open questions of the impact analysis (Janssen et al., 2014a) were used to collect data about advantages and disadvantages of the regular teaching practice and lesson series designed according to the new teaching approach.
Finally, in chapter 6, insights from the various studies are brought together to answer the main research question.
