Jean McNiff is Professor of Educational Research at York St John University, UK. She also holds visiting professorial positions at Beijing Normal University and Ningxia Teachers University, People’s Republic of China; the University of Tromsų, Norway; and the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University, South Africa. She has written widely on action research in education.
"Action Research: Principles and Practice clearly, and passionately, addresses the questions ‘how?’ and ‘why?’ adopt an action research approach to ones practice. McNiff demonstrates throughout the book that she lives the values that she is espousing. The way she brings together her passion for creating positive change through action research with the need for rigour in the way the research is carried out reminds us that she is, at the same time, advocate, campaigner, educator and academic."
- Mark Robson, York St John University
