What sets it apart from other texts is its emphasis on action research as a vehicle through which schools can build knowledge democracies. This text goes beyond the \"how to\" of action research to examine the \"why\"—the historical origins, the rationale behind practice-based research, the related theoretical and philosophical perspectives, and the major paradigms of action research. A discussion of collaborative action research and action research as professional development along with a presentation of research methods and case studies demonstrates how action research can contribute to the creation of schools as centers of democratic inquiry. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmphasizes action research as a tool for building schools as knowledge democracies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExamines the historical disconnect between educational research and practice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePresents three key sections focusing on understanding action research, collaborative action research, and practicing action research\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBroadens the concept of collaborative action research to include students and parents as partners in the inquiry process\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes numerous examples of teacher action research studies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e  ","brand":"SAGE Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47047857176816,"sku":"9781412964760","price":58.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781412964760_p0.jpg?v=1763772512","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781412964760","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
