Yeki Bood/Yeki Na Bood: Writing and Publishing as a Teacher Researcher
Bob Fecho
Bob Fecho gave the following talk at the 2002 NCTE Conference in Atlanta upon receiving the Alan C. Purves Award, presented to the RTE article from the previous year's volume judged most likely to have an impact on the practice of others. Fecho used the occasion to discuss the considerations faced by practitioner researchers as they write for publication, particularly as they encounter the template of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association. Fecho argues that some APA conventions-such as beginning an article with theory rather than the story of the research-do not suit the purposes of practitioner researchers well and likely discourage practitioners from seeking to publish their work in research journals. He argues for some flexibility in the APA format in order to accommodate those practitioners who seek to situate their work in conversations in the larger research community.
