Action research literature 2004-2006

Themes and trends

Bob Dick

Southern Cross University, Australia

This review of recent action research books covers the period from about mid-2004 to mid-2006, complementing an earlier review (Dick, 2004). After noting some important recent additions to the action research literature, I address the literature on several different applications of action research including education, community, participatory development, and organizations. There are briefer sections on other topics. Action research journals and special issues of other journals are also identified. Finally, I identify some themes and trends in the action research literature.

Key Words: action learning • action research literature • appreciative inquiry • community development • educational action research • journals • organizational change • participatory development • pragmatism • trends
