Summary "Community-based action research seeks to involve as active participants those who have traditionally been called subjects and is intended to result in a practical outcome related to the lives or work of the participants. Author Ernest T. Stringer provides a series of tools that assist the researcher in working through the research process. Action Research, Second Edition provides a simple but highly effective model for approaching action research."--BOOK JACKET
