Improving Schools Through Action Research: A Comprehensive Guide for Educators (2nd Edition)

Customer Reviews:

Excellent Resource for Conducting and Disseminating Education Research

By J. Olson - May 11, 2008

As educators we often desire to determine the status and effectiveness of a program, process, or intervention. To examine the results of a teaching strategy or intervention we need to research the activity in a manner that provides valid results. Improving Schools Through Action Research is an excellent guide for designing action research projects, conducting the research, and generating results of the research for publication or communication with others in the field.

The book is divided into easy to follow chapters with activities that guide the researcher through each phase of the research process. Relevant examples and Internet resources are provided throughout the book so novice researchers are comfortable with the process.

I highly recommend this textbook as a course text or as a reference for educators conducting action research to improve teaching and learning at their schools.

Action Research

By K. Sutton - May 12, 2013

This text relays authoritative content, a time-tested step-by-step approach, and abundant use of research examples. With improved clarity and readability, this edition strengthens its focus on evidence-based practice to better demonstrate how the steps of the research process relate to evidence-based nursing. In addition, the text offers unique insights into understanding, appraising, and applying published research to evidence-based practice.

Review

By Steven and Kristina - February 21, 2013

This book has a lot of very useful information and you can tell that the authors try to break it down for the reader. If you have never written an action research plan and need to know how, this is a great book, but for reading for fun, it would not be very interesting.
