I particularly found McAteer a critical and evaluative writer; and enjoyed her approach to data collection, analysis, and evaluative methodologies.

Our Master's programme attracts mostly current teachers who are looking at developing their understanding of education and pedagogy. This book is a really good aid to help such students understand what action research is all about and how it can be done in an educational setting. The text is clear and readable, with very helpful conclusions and summaries at the end of each chapter. The suggestions for further reading are relevant and useful, though the additional online resources were a little disappointing.

I find this book very accessible - a good introductory book for education research students considering action research.

-Effie Maclellan, Research Professor in Education, University of Strathclyde, Glasgow

Jean McNiff is the most used text, it was intersting to take an alternative perspective

For MA course

For anyone completing or interested in action research, this book would provide you with a clear and comprehensive guide to approaching your project and would serve as a useful reference tool.

This is a very good intro to action research in the educational context. Perhaps one small suggestion is considering a broad contrast between action research in education compared to other disciplines. Nevertheless this book should be in the shelves of all educational researchers.

This is a compelling text that offers practitioners and education students clear ways of engaging with the concepts and practices of Action Research. The structure is very clear, broken up frequently into small, accessible parts that make dipping in very easy. As a lecturer I can use aspects of this book, particularly the case study examples and reflection boxes, to inform my instruction.
