A guide for those who work in teaching and learning in universities and who would like to carry out action research on their own practice. It provides advice on how to research practice in a university context and contains a section on research tools.

This is a practical, down-to-earth guide for those who work in teaching and learning in universities and who would like to carry out action research on their own practice. The model of 'pedagogical action research' has come from the author's experience of over twenty years in carrying out such research and over six years of experience in encouraging colleagues to carry out small scale studies at an institutional, national and international level. This accessible text gives the reader practical advice on how to research their own practice in a university context and contains a section on useful research tools, including two that the author has designed: the 'learning objectives questionnaire' and the 'ideal inventory', both of which have been widely used in the research context.
