  Episode#1: The Offence of Theory 07.09.2026 19мин

  Theory may not give you the answer, but it might give you a better question.In The Offence of Theory, Maggie MacLure challenges the idea that educational research should simply tell us “what works”. Theory can feel uncomfortable because it refuses to provide easy answers. Instead, it asks us to question why we believe something works, whose voices are being heard, whose are missing, and what assumptions might be shaping our thinking without us even realising it.This spotlight explores eight ideas from MacLure’s argument. Rather than attempting to summarise every aspect of the paper, it focuses on some of its most thought-provoking arguments and considers what they might mean for teachers developing their professional knowledge.The accompanying TeacherStu Spotlight is available through request and on LinkedIn.
