From the publisher

What is action research? Why does it matter in education? This practical and accessible book provides answers to these questions, guiding readers through a meaningful and manageable approach to research in practice. Readers will benefit from guidance on easing the stress of research projects in teacher education courses, professional development initiatives and in school self-evaluation.

Supported by case studies from teachers' and student teachers' practice, chapters guide readers through key aspects of carrying out a research project, including:

  • planning a research project
  • collecting and using data
  • presenting evidence
  • generating theory
  • writing up and disseminating your research
  • a theoretical rationale to show why the research is conducted in this way

Written in an accessible manner by experienced classroom teachers and academic researchers, this is an essential read for those conducting research on their own practice as part of their professional learning. Action Research for the Classroom shows how teacher research is drawn from the reality of busy life in the classroom and that it can be undertaken in the most complex learning environments, creating positive change for teaching and learning.
