Doing Practitioner Research Differently

Description

"The book presents edited versions of the practitioners' research reports and also explores the motivations which caused the practitioners to break away from conventional approaches. The investigation revealed that a variety of forces were at work. There were personal factors related to preferred thinking and artistic styles; professional factors related to purposes for doing research; and institutional factors related to the encouragement received and the models of research presented. This book makes a contribution to our understanding of motivation and quality in practitioner research. It suggests that we may need to resist any form of dogma if practitioner research is to be effective. Instead, we may need to liberate individuals to make methodical choices that harmonise with their own purposes and predispositions - to free them to 'do it their way'."--BOOK JACKET.
