An Essential for Action Researchers

This guide is not pedantic or condescending in tone to the veteran or beginning educator. It is a down to earth guide with easy-to-follow suggestions. It provides a clear process by which anyone may engage in action research. It provides points for thinking and examples of each stage of the process. I used this text for writing my masters and I found it especially helpful when coming to conclusions about my data.
