I had to buy this book for a practicum in my graduate program in education, but it isn't graduate level material. It might be helpful for educators who have absolutely no background in science or research, but I had already completed several research projects by the time I started my master's thesis. The premise of the book is that teachers should be evaluating their own teaching and conducting 'action research' in order to improve their teaching. ( ) no reviews | add a review
