The Wiley Handbook of Action Research in Education
Edited by Craig A. Mertler
"The Wiley Handbook of Action Research in Education" is the first book to offer theoretical, conceptual and applied/practical presentations of action research as it is found and conducted solely in education settings. Covering primarily PK–12 settings, the book utilizes a variety of international authors and presentations to provide global perspectives on action research in education.
Part I of the handbook focuses on various foundational aspects and issues related to action research. Part II is centered on chapters that present theories and principles that help to guide the use of action research in educational contexts. Part III focuses on specific applications of educational action research in practice. Part IV provides an outlet for seven education practitioners to share their experiences in conducting action research. Each of these authors also discusses the importance and value that action research has had on them, both professionally and personally.
"The Wiley Handbook of Action Research in Education" is an excellent book for advanced undergraduate students, graduate students and scholars studying and/or researching educational action research.
