Action Research Essentials is a practical guide born of the
author's own experience working with students in the social
sciences and education, providing a step-by-step outline of how to

research coverage on the market today. The author guides future
researcher/practitioners through the action research process via
numerous concrete illustrations and a wealth of on-line resources;
positioning it as a fundamental component of practice,
A key and unique strength of the book is its outreach to a much larger breadth of students than usually found in action research books. This book will illustrate all the steps in action research using examples from education, social work, psychology, sociology, nursing, medicine, and counseling.
The structure of the book is intended as the sole textbook for a course devoted to naturalistic inquiry, practitioner research, or beginning qualitative methods, or can complement a general research course.
