商品簡介
This work explains how to reframe educational and social research in order to challenge the status quo, with a focus on educational equity and social justice. Early chapters touch on reclaiming social and educational research through a critical-empirical approach and an action inquiry model. Later chapters give examples of inquiry-based research for application in professional development, organizational change, public policy, and leadership and public responsibility. Summary charts, checklists, and detailed chapter summaries are included. An appendix provides guidelines for dissertation committees and graduate students, explaining how to meet generally accepted quality standards and address critical social challenges when doing research within streams of action inquiry.
