Create a flyer for "Writing and Doing Action Research"

A must for doctoral students and academics interested in developing their writing skills. I found the book to be very engaging and one that I know I will turn to for advice for students and for myself.

A very useful book discussing how to do action research in a setting. It generates discussion questions and issues to reflect upon while still offering a practical approach to how to carry out good action research.

It appears to be more useful for those who want to publish rather than for those who want to carry out beginning action research. This is the ultimate goal for students but they are not there yet! Jean's advice as always is straightforward and useful.

A quite interesting book with a bunch full of fresh ideas.

I really enjoyed reading through it and got some nice new insights which will help me in improve my own research as well. I'm sure, it will also help my students to better understand how to structure their own writings for my classes.

This appears to be a useful book, especially since it relates to post graduate work. It will be useful for a number of our courses where we ask students to undertake action research.

This book will help our trainees with the starting point of their action research and guide them through the process.

A useful introduction to action research.

Another very comprehensive guide to AR. The 'writing' sections are not as useful for MA Education students as the 'doing' sections, but I would recommend as a supplemental text for keen students.

This book is easy to read and to understand - and even motivates the reader. The good structure and simple design contribute to the pleasure it makes to read it. I can recommend this book to, for example, master students who want to report their research.

This book covers the required areas in sufficient detail to assist our students in the processes of completing action research. Good layout and topics.

This is an excellent book on Action Research. Following on from her collaboration with Jack Whitehead in the 'Action Research Living Theory' (published by sage and an essential buy), this takes the methodological concept to the next level. It is considerably more advanced yet is so easy to read and use as a reference/guide book. It covers all aspects of Action Research including the aspects that are often criticised with this form of research, such as applying rigour and quality and adding criticality to the findings.

This is a very practical approach to Action Research. It has very useful tips particularly for masters level students.

This book is an essential reading for students in Master's programmes. McNiff does not only answer the question on what a reader needs to know about the practice of writing but also on the practice of doing action research. The book informs the reader about the research writing process and how to write a proposal, theses and dissertation. It also gives valuable insights into the writing for publications (academic books and journals). All in all, I recommend this book to students in the Master's course 'Academic and Professional Writing' as essential reading.

Interesting book. More for the students and staff members who are going to do action research

Suitable for those students who aspire for a deeper understanding of research methodology.

This is more about writing than about doing action research. It is therefore less useful to my students, who need more guidance on how to engage in research than how to write.

A useful step-by-step guide to doing action research and to disseminating findings.

This is an excellent reminder of how we relationally learn. We cannot assume theory before practice and as insiders we still have to be careful of how we portray our results. This book helps keep the balance within the empirical research methods between theory and practice.
Examples and exercises proliferate and I just hope students - and lecturers- can make time to work at them!

By the end of the introduction, I had been won over by the author’s assertion that I should “be confident to contribute to human and planetary well-being through dialogue”, somewhat comforted by the romantic view of myself as an “activist writer”. By the final page, I am convinced that it is time to take the first steps down the “tough road” of sufficient self-education to re-engage and start writing about my practice.

The book is a useful addition for those completing masters or doctoral degrees, and early career researchers. It is also a useful text for those who
