 Great Resource for Education Students August 27, 2007
I consider this book pricey for what it is, but I needed it for a class. I found it to be very informative, and yet an easy read.

There are too many errors in this book. I used it in my class for a couple of weeks and found many errors. Too many errors to continue using it to educate teachers. I would not recommend this book to anyone, especially if they are trying to learn from it.

I have used this book in a graduate classroom and it has been very good for my students to learn to do action research in their schools.
Too many errors! August 19, 2002

I teach graduate level research courses and reviewed this book for the publisher. There are so many errors in this book that I cannot even begin to list them. I could not in all practicality use this book with my students because of the multiple theoretical and conceptual errors. Another reviewer suggested graduate students get the book because it is helpful. As a professor I would not agree. There are many other texts that do a much better job discussing Action Research that are more practical, precise, make relevant connections to practice, and offer theoretical and conceptual accuracies.
