Abstract
This chapter introduces the methodology used in an intervention project we conducted with the aim of getting dialogic teaching into Czech classrooms. First, we describe the TPD program entitled “Effective Classroom Dialogue” that we conducted with two groups of teachers between 2013 and 2015. The aim was to induce a change toward dialogic teaching in participating classrooms and at the same time to study the processes of teacher development and learning during the TPD program. In the second part of this chapter, we present our methods of data collection during the TPD program. In the third part of the chapter, we present how we analyzed the data. Finally, we discuss the ethical aspects and research limits of the intervention.
