This is a very practical approach to Action Research. It has very useful tips particularly for masters level students.
This appears to be a useful book, especially since it relates to post graduate work. It will be useful for a number of our courses where we ask students to undertake action research.
Interesting book. More for the students and staff members who are going to do action research
This book will help our trainees with the starting point of their action research and guide them through the process.
This book provides a good guide to an Action Research explorer for both doing and writing up processes; from the proposal, through dissertation to text planning and writing. Truly recommended for students and academics with interest in Action research.
