Material Detail

This short booklet intends to introduce action research in the context of higher education practice. It is designed to be used before engagement with the extensive published literature on action research. It takes a deliberately pragmatic approach and offers examples from practice. It is particularly aimed at anyone who may be more used to working in the natural sciences, where action research is not only a new way of researching but a new way of thinking. The booklet has been formed from experiences of working with undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as new and veteran higher education practitioners. The booklet is deliberately light on citations as it seeks to offer a personal, practical insight and in so doing it tries to answer some of the important questions that new action researchers might have.
