Action Research

Professional development is always a work in progress. For education students, teachers (at all levels),HR managers and many others, this book will provide you with the tools and guidance for ongoing reflective practice. Not only is this a guide to action research, but also provides a fantastic bibliography to research other authors on this subject and an extensive list of websites that are appropriate and very helpful. You will be thoroughly prepared for conducting your own action research with the use of "Reflection and Practice" located at the end of each chapter. These sections are here to assist you with various aspects of action research using qualitative research technique. I recommend this book for anyone wanting to review their practice whatever line of work they are in.

I read the first edition of this book and found it to be a wealth of good information laid out in a clear, straightforward manner that can be used successfully by students. I teach an advanced undergraduate methods course in anthropology and have used this book as one of the texts. Although it does not say everything about the topic, it covers all the basics very well so that it can be either used as a textbook or used by an action research practitioner.
