About Action Research: Living Theory

This book is about the practice and theory of action research. It is written for practitioneraction researchers who are committed to improving their learning, and offering expla-nations for how and why they are doing so. Specifically it is written for those onformal accredited courses and their lecturers, and also for those at a more advancedstage of their workplace enquiries, who wish to engage with ideas about the practicali-ties of doing action research, and about its theoretical underpinnings.The book is a guide to the most pressing topics in the field, including the littleaddressed yet probably most urgent issue of how it is possible to assess quality in actionresearch, so that it can generate theory whose validity can be tested against publiclycommunicable standards of judgement. This is especially urgent in light of many gov-ernments’ policies regarding the future directions of educational research, how it shouldbe funded, and the potential implications for education. Currently, funding for educa-tional research tends to go to those institutions that have demonstrated quality researchoutput. In the UK, funding goes to those with the highest grades in the national researchassessment exercise. These institutions tend to be those whose research is clearly withinthe social sciences. The possible continuation of the social sciences as the dominant par-adigm in educational research carries deep implications for the likely continued posi-tioning of practitioners as participants in higher-education-led research, rather thanresearchers and theorists who are conducting their own practice-based research in theirown right.
