Action Research in Teaching and Learning: A practical guide to conducting pedagogical research in universities - Hardcover
Synopsis
A practical, down-to-earth guide for those who work in teaching and learning in universities and who would like to carry out action research on their own practice. The model of ‘pedagogical action research’ has come from the author’s experience of over twenty years in carrying out such research and over six years of experience in encouraging colleagues to carry out small scale studies at an institutional, national and international level.
This accessible text gives the reader practical advice on how to research their own practice in a university context and contains a section on useful research tools, including two that the author has designed: the ‘learning objectives questionnaire’ and the ‘ideal inventory’, both of which have been widely used in the research context.

Review
"Norton masterfully walks the reader through the gathering of data from questionnaires and interviews and then invites the analysis of data using concrete examples of how to do thematic and content analysis. This book will not overwhelm the beginner researcher who only has limited time at their disposal with the educational theory of action research. Instead it provides a useful, tacit knowledge that will help any professor of religious studies or theology discover ways rooted in research for improving their pedagogical teaching practices."―Teaching Theology and Religion
