Beyond Actions is a new breed of book on action research, going
beyond procedural descriptions of action research and discusses
psychological processes and epistemological challenges involved in
planning and conducting action research. The book discusses in
depth key concepts of action research and the ways in which these
concepts actually contribute to the improvement of educational
practice by assuming the viewpoint of educators. Dr. Inoue offers
ample opportunities for readers to deeply reflect on personal,
social, cultural, and philosophical foundations of practice
improvement efforts and develop a comprehensive understanding of
action research. Beyond Actions is targeted to educators,
educational researchers, principals, and students taking
graduate-level courses in action research, educational research
methods, educational psychology, education foundations, educational
leadership, and other related fields as well as anyone seeking a
new methodology for mindful educational improvement.

Mirrors of the Mind uses East Asian epistemology and cultural
concepts as new conceptual tools to address fundamental questions
that educators encounter. The book invites readers to critically
reflect on commonly held assumptions about learning, cognition,
motivation, development, and other essential areas of educational
psychology and learning sciences and, with East Asian epistemology
as an underlying theme, examines what it takes to improve
educational practices. The book first introduces key issues and
controversies in learning sciences, then discusses how to advance
our understanding of learning and educational practices through a
cross-cultural lens. This book challenges readers to critically
examine their own assumptions, and to move beyond the limitations
of the Western ways of thinking that have predominantly permeated
the field. It will help readers develop new and mindful ways of
thinking for improving educational practices. Designed to accompany
or replace traditional textbooks in educational psychology,
educational foundations, cognition and learning, human development,
and other related fields, this book will be useful to educators and
anyone seeking new, non-traditional ways of approaching learning
and educational practices.
