Faculty Development: Achieving Change Through Action Research - Paperback

by Sara B. Ewell (Editor), Joan Giblin (Editor), Joe McNabb (Editor)

Action Research can empower all administrators in higher education to engage more effectively in resolving challenges in colleges and universities. Scholar-practitioners are particularly well poised to impact three defined areas of practice: college students, faculty, and curriculum, teaching and learning.

Action Research is a powerful, localized methodology for impacting difficult and complex issues embedded in organizations. Higher education administrators regularly confront these types of difficult issues and hold the responsibility to solve these problems.
