This book gives practical guidance on doing an action research project as part of an award-bearing course.

This book is thoroughly practical, and will encourage readers to try out new strategies for improving their work.
Action research is firmly established on award-bearing courses in INSET and Continuing Professional Development. This book is essential reading for resource managers in schools, college and higher education who are responsible for providing courses and support.
