Sommario/riassunto |
|
"Action Research for Teachers provides a detailed explanation of what action research is and its importance in terms of whole school development. This book invites you to try out educational research for yourself and adopt an investigative attitude that will not only help you to improve and evaluate your practice but also to produce research-based evidence to support your claims to professional knowledge and expertise." "Assuming no prior knowledge of research methods and techniques, this is the perfect companion for teachers at all levels engaged in professional development, who need to enhance their formal reflection skills."-- |
