The Second Edition of Action Research: Teachers as Researchers in the Classroom introduces practicing teachers to the process of conducting classroom-based action research. Written for the practicing educator, the focus is on conducting applied, classroom research. The book′s practicality stems from its attention to research methods and procedures that teachers can use with their everyday instructional practices and classroom activities.
