Synopsis
Core text for courses in Action Research; supplement for Educational Research courses.
Informed by the author's years of field research, teaching, and consulting, this readable, accessible new volume will help novice researchers understand qualitative, action research. The author first defines action research and clarifies its nature, providing a clear description of the relationship between qualitative and quantitative research. He then offers step-by-step procedures for planning, implementing, and evaluating the kind of research projects that help people use their own understanding and expertise to work systematically through a data gathering process, and, ultimately, find a solution to the problem they are investigating. Up-to-date coverage based on the work of earlier researchers clearly delineates the place of action research in the current research methodology scene, and speaks directly to the needs of those involved on a daily basis with classrooms and schools.

From the Back Cover
Action research, applied systematically to the issue of poor academic performance, provides a high likelihood of improving student outcomes. The action research processes described in this book are honed by many years of successful application, and provide teachers, educational leaders, families and community members with a set of tools for engaging with significant problems in classrooms and schools. This book is designed to provide the reader with an understanding of the nature of action research and the procedures and applications of action research. In addition, it provides practical resources that add to the fundamentals of knowledge available to action researchers. The text is detailed, providing specific guidance for many of the skills that may be required for the different contexts and problems to which action research can be applied. Conceptual frameworks provide a "compass" or "roadmap" that will enable practitioners to keep track of action research processes applied to their work.
