Editorial Reviews

Review

"Action Research is easy to read, it covers the basic tenets of action research without going overboard, and it comes from the viewpoint of lifelong researching. I’ve reviewed other texts that have two of those three qualities, but this is the first book I’ve seen with all three." -- Tamarah M. Ashton

"Action Research is a book that I wish I had as a student. In this fine book, Craig A. Mertler effectively informs, guides, and assists readers along their path to understanding and conducting action research. A needed addition to the field!" -- Carole S. Rhodes

"Action Research is a perfect fit for master’s students. It is well-written and especially well scaffolded." -- Annamary L. Consalvo

"Action Research is interactive and practically applied to the classroom setting." -- Elizabeth D. Cramer

some of the tables are missing in the kindle version
The text is what it is. If you need it for class, get it. However, I would recommend getting a printed copy. I got the kindle version because I wanted the ability to highlight, search, and take notes electronically. Unfortunately, my professor is referencing tables that don't appear in the kindle version.For example, table 4.1 and 4.2. I've included pictures of what the kindle version says is table 4.1 (the blue graphic) and a picture of what is actually table 4.1 - the picture of the book.I had to have someone in my class send me pictures so I could complete an assignment. Other people in my class are having the same problem. Be careful buying the kindle version and make sure you find someone with the print copy so you can see the graphics you're missing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for doctoral students in education
Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2023

This was assigned for my first semester in an EDd program and I wish it had been part of my undergraduate work. Teachers perform action research in their classrooms all the time, and this would help give language to the process. I truly see this as a bridge between theory and practice and hope it becomes more widespread in educational training.

This version is useless if you need to access the digital content. Yes, you receive the book, but there is no card with the access code to get onto the SAGE portal for all the additional content. Very frustrating that it did not mention this in the description.
