Action research is research by a teacher about their own practice in the classroom. It is also sometimes called teacher research, teacher self-evaluation, teacher professional development or teacher as researcher. Patrick Costello provides a clear and helpful guide on how to do Action research.
The central purpose of this book is to enable practitioners to undertake and to offer an account of an action research project. The volume is divided into seven sections, the first six of which are headed by commonly asked questions. Having examined the nature of action research Costello focuses on developing an appropriate project, data collection and analysis, and producing a research report. The final section offers suggestions for further reading.
