Mertler, C. A. (2019). Action research: Improving schools and empowering educators (6th ed.). Thousand Oaks, CA: SAGE Publications, Inc.
Please note: While we recommend that you purchase the 6th edition of the text we do acknowledge that the 4th and 5th editions of this text will also be satisfactory. If you have access to this older version it will be suitable because the key aspects of the two editions remain the same. The difference between the 4th 5th and 6th edition is that the 6th edition adds enhanced coverage of rigor and ethics in action research, means of establishing the quality of both quantitative and qualitative data, and new social justice advocacy as an application of action research and the inclusion of abstracts in research reports.
