From the Back Cover

Action Research: A Guide for the Teacher Researcher, Third Edition

Geoffrey E. Mills

 

This text provides a step-by-step, how-to approach of "doing" action research--backed by the most extensive theory and research coverage on the market today. The author guides future and current educators through the action research process with numerous concrete illustrations and a wealth of on-line resources, positioning action research as a fundamental component of teaching alongside curriculum development, assessment, and classroom management.

 

Key changes in the new edition of this market-leading text are:

 

More Balanced Coverage of Quantitative and Qualitative Data Collection Techniques

  • NEW! Increased coverage of the most frequently used quantitative data collection techniques in action research, including teacher-made tests, standardized tests, and report cards, is included in Chapter 3, "Data Collection Techniques."

 

More Balanced Coverage of How to Analyze Both Quantitative and Qualitative Data

  • Chapter 6, "Data Analysis and Interpretation," and Appendix B, "Descriptive Statistics and Action Research," guide students through the data analysis process and provide techniques, coding guidelines, and examples for analyzing both quantitative and qualitative data.
  • NEW! An expanded discussion of descriptive statistics in Appendix B includes step-by-step guidance on how to calculate standard deviation by hand with the help of a calculator rather than using SPSS.

 

Rearranged Order of Chapters Pertaining to Writing and Sharing of Action Research

  • NEW! "Writing Up Action Research" (Chapter 8) precedes, "Sharing, Critiquing, and Celebrating Action Research" (Chapter 9) to present a more logical and clearer path to understanding.

 

Separate Chapter Completely Devoted to Ethics

  • NEW! Chapter 5 provides an expanded discussion of ethical issues, principles, and guidelines.

Good resource 21 Jun 2001
By T. Geoghegan - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
In preparing my action research project for my Masters degree, I found this book to be very helpful and a good resource.

It is not an in-depth book, but it is insightful and helps to narrow your focus and keep you on track in the planning stages of the action research process.

It gives good examples of projects that have been done and the insights gained from those projects.

This book is by far the best of it's kind, although I wish it had just a little more advice for the beginner of the entire process. It is great for planning, but I was left thinking, "now what?" I figured it out, but it took a little doing on my part. The book does have good outside resource lists to help you answer questions you might have.

This helped make action research make sense! 16 Sep 2011
By R. King - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This was the second book I purchased for an Action Research class I was taking online. The lack of leadership and support in the class lead me to find my answers in other places. Our lead text made terms and concepts confusing, but this book made it all seem easier. I suggest that if you are doing an action research project for your master's degree this is a great purchase! There are even helpful examples and stories of reflection from the author. Great book and a true life saver!

Too many errors! 19 Aug 2002
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I teach graduate level research courses and reviewed this book for the publisher. There are so many errors in this book that I cannot even begin to list them. I could not in all practicality use this book with my students because of the multiple theoretical and conceptual errors. Another reviewer suggested graduate students get the book because it is helpful. As a professor I would not agree. There are many other texts that do a much better job discussing Action Research that are more practical, precise, make relevant connections to practice, and offer theoretical and conceptual accuracies.
