This hands-on and user-friendly book uses illustrative case
studies to demonstrate and explore the potential for change in real
social situations. This book seeks to assert the academic integrity
of action research and to de-mystify the process.
Each chapter includes:
- a 'how to' section based on concrete examples and dilemmas
- commentary that relates examples to the broader field
- a discussion of the underlying theoretical approach
- discussion and exploration of quality issues
- discussion of ethical and pragmatic decision-making
The mix of theoretical grounding and focus on real issues will
be of benefit to Master's level or advanced undergraduate students
on Education and Research Methods courses or those undertaking
Action Research as part of professional development activities.
