| Summary: | This excellent book provides a practical guide for teachers
and school leaders interested in pursuing professional
inquiry or action research within their classrooms and
schools. The distinctive feature and great strength of this
practical guide is captured within its subtitle by the term
‘values-based research’. Previous practical guides have
provided step-by-step support for teachers with their
Action Research projects, some educational research
books have proposed a focus on social justice, and other
texts for teacher-researchers have proposed a valuesbased approach to research. However, this book provides
particularly clear explanations, backed up with concrete
examples, of how a teacher-researcher can integrate their
professional values into an Action Research project. The
book also provides a rationale for why this is an important
challenge and how it can help a teacher to improve their
professional, values-led practice as an educator. |
