′Masterly in its lucidity, this text contextualises Action Research in the fiedl of Education Practice; and is therefore a valuable resource in both professional learning and improved professional practice′

′Will assist practitioner researchers to develop a profound and critical understanding of this approach′
-Professor Marion Jones, Liverpool John Moores University


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.
