Scientific research that also excites practitioners? Then you better come up with concrete answers. Action research starts with questions from practice and prefers to solve current problems. In other words, making an impact.
In their new book Impact with action research, authors Ronald van Steden (VU), Gertjan Schuiling (VU) and Jan Sanne Mulder (Hogeschool InHolland) make the connection between theory and practice.
They describe the development of action research and show the possibilities through 19 case studies from higher professional education, vocational education, research university and consultancy practice. "The astonishing experience is that the dividing lines between these sectors disappear as soon as the conversation turns to issues that matter."
