Abstract
The authors of this chapter make the argument that educational researchers need to critically examine the quickly evolving cultural, social, and organisational dynamics of 21st century learning environments and learners. In order to do this, it may be necessary to investigate the behaviours and intentions of others, including, but not limited to school administers, teachers, and of course students. While researching the “drivers” of behaviour can be complex and challenging, a framework detailing the salient psycho-social predictors of behaviour may be particularly helpful in helping researchers investigate and explain intention and/or behaviour. The purpose of this chapter is to discuss how the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) (Ajzen, 2005) may be used in Education Research as a framework to further understandings of teachers’, students’, or others’ intentions and/or behaviour.
