Description: "This book presents a collection of stories from action research projects in schools and a university. The collection is more than simply an illustration of the scope of action research in education - it shows how projects that differ on a variety of dimensions can raise similar themes, problems and issues. The book begins with theme chapters discussing action research, social justice and partnerships." "The case study chapters cover topics such as: how to make a school a healthier place; collaboration between a university and a state education department; how to involve parents in decision-making; students as action researchers; how to promote gender equity in schools; improving assessment in social sciences; staff development planning; doing a PhD through action research; writing up action research projects."--Jacket.
