Practical Action Research for Change

Front Cover
1 Review
SAGE Publications, May 12, 2006 - Education - 164 pages
Action research provides a process for educators to individually and collectively study their own situations, try new practices, evaluate those innovations, adjust, and try again. In this revised second edition, Richard Schmuck demonstrates how educators at all levels can use action research to improve their professional practice and change the culture of their schools, districts, or communities. He shows how educators, by reflecting on their past, present, and future practice, can convert frustrations into solvable problems. This updated workbook covers both the proactive and the responsive models of action research and also includes: easy-to-understand explanations of methods, steps, and phases; a chapter devoted to questionnaires, interviews, observations, and public documents; guidelines for both solo and cooperative projects; "how-to" worksheets that guide readers through the process; journal-writing activities at the end of every chapter; and case studies of real action research projects.

Review: Practical Action Research For Change

User Review  - Robert - Goodreads

This was a book that we used during The Principalship. Action research is an interesting form of research. I suppose I learned some from this book, but the class was poorly structured. Read full review
