This book serves as a practical guide to conducting action research in educational settings. Unique in approach, it weaves wonderful metaphors from the Wizard of Oz throughout its entirety—literally taking readers on an exciting journey with Dorothy and her friends to discover all facets of action research. Offering step-by-step guidance through the action research process, complete coverage of theories, and plenty of real-life examples, it equips teachers with the tools they will need to successfully conduct their own action research. In addition, three theoretical/foundational chapters present four action research studies representing a variety of circumstances, grade levels, age groups, and disciplines. For practicing teachers and student teachers.

1 out of 1 found this review helpful
There are lots of hands-on guidelines seems helpful to action researcher beginners. Good for teachers who are interested in doing some educational research in their classrooms and college students who are education majors.
 Oz references just go on and on and on and on ... August 30, 2006
The references to "The Wizard of Oz" were cute for the first couple of pages, but after that it was sickening!
