N2  - Presenting a fresh view of action research as a methodology which makes a unique contribution to knowledge about the process of development and change, this text explores its use in different disciplines and locations and shows its fluidity and responsiveness to the values and culture of each; "This book presents a fresh view of action research as a methodology uniquely suited to researching the processes of innovation and change. Drawing on twenty-five years' experience of leading or facilitating action research projects. Bridget Somekh argues that action research can be a powerful systematic intervention, which goes beyond describing, analyzing and theorizing practice to reconstruct and transform those practices."
