Presented and produced by Seán Delaney.
On this week's programme I speak to four educational researchers who have just had their third book about educational research published by Bloomsbury. The new boook by Máirín Glenn, Mary Roche, Caitríona McDonagh, and Bernie Sullivan is titled Learning Communities in Educational Partnerships: Action Research as Transformation. They have also set up a website to support action researchers at www.eari.ie. Among the topics we discuss on the programme are:
- How this book differs to their previous ones
- The link between professional development and action research
- The transformative power of action research for teachers
- How the authors define research
- How action research works in practice
- Brookfield’s lenses
I have previously spoken to Máirín, Mary, Caitriona and Bernie on programmes 235 and 324,
