Review
"I used this book for several years as the primary text for an online graduate course, Action Research, which serves as a capstone for master's of education students. From the opening pages, the authors set the stage for understanding action research as an important approach to making classroom decisions based on systematically collected data. The pedagogical features such as vignettes and exercises are a strength of the book. There is a clear attempt to access textual, visual, and hands-on channels of learning. Self-quizzes allow for guided review."--John H. Yoder, PhD, Core Faculty in Education (retired), Concordia University–Portland
"I have reviewed a number of action research texts, and, time and again, I return to Efron and Ravid’s book. It is simply the best available. With excellent content and depth, the text guides educators to conduct cycles of inquiry in their schools. It includes rich examples, tables, and figures to illustrate key concepts, as well as checklists to support action researchers."--Kimberly Kappler Hewitt, PhD, Division of Research, Discovery, and Innovation, School of Education, University of North Carolina at Greensboro
"This is an excellent introductory text for the novice action researcher. The authors cover both qualitative and quantitative methods and offer advice on using already existing assessment data in action research studies. The text is practical and applicable to a wide variety of educational contexts."--Linnea Rademaker, PhD, School of Educational Leadership, Abilene Christian University
"The book contains everything that I need in terms of content--it is a great introduction to action research. The writing style is its biggest strength. Many students are nervous about beginning to do research, and this book helps by presenting a step-by-step approach."--Eugene Geist, PhD, Department of Teacher Education, Ohio University
“If you are teaching a research class to novice researchers, especially those in education, I would highly recommend this book for its practical approach, and the emphasis on writing and the use of assessment data. Teachers are often overwhelmed with available data in their classrooms and schools/m-/understanding as well as the data. This book provides much needed practical instructions for both issues.” (on the first edition) ― Inquiry in Education Published On: 2013-07-01

5.0 out of 5 stars Book is useful for anyone in a classroom
Purchased for a class. It was very useful. I was able to complete the course and learn more about action research in the classroom. Trying to change classroom behaviors, or academics.... This might be a pathway to conducting research with results that can be applied in real-time. Quick adjustments, real results.

1.0 out of 5 stars No time left to replace
I ordered this book for a master class that starts on August 30th. It was delivered while I was out of town. It had some sort of goo stuck to it that was pink and smelled like strawberries, even though the plastic packaging was not damaged. I do not have enough time to return it and have it replaced. Do better!
