This book shows students how to bridge the theory of action research (AR) to practice by successfully completing a project. Ideal as a companion to theoretical texts on AR, it interweaves discussion of the major content areas as the concepts impact practice. Eight chapters address each step in the process from framing the proposal to analyzing the results and writing up the report. Reflective questions at the end of each section help students develop an ongoing reflective/reflexive practice. Chapters includes suggestions for next steps and additional readings, to help students dig deeper into the rich literature that surrounds this methodology. The book includes pictures, stories, pull-outs, and illustrations designed to make the material approachable, capture interest, and foster understanding.
