This introductory text has been updated in the light of recent legislative changes in education, such as the introduction of teacher appraisal, and the move towards more heavily school-based training. Its guiding principle remains simple: how to produce school-based research that is both useful and rigorous. The book offers a clear account of the research process and provides a sound basis from which teachers can realistically conduct school-based research projects.
