Sommario/riassunto

Since its first publication, Action Research: Principles and Practice has become a key text in its field. This new updated edition clearly describes and explains the practices of action research and its underlying values, and introduces important new ideas, including:all professionals should be reflective practitioners;they should produce their personal theories of practice to show how they are holding themselves accountable for their educational influences in learning;the stories they produce become a new people's history of action research.
