Educational Action Research is a fully-refereed international journal concerned with exploring the unity between educational research and practice. Increasing interest in action research in recent years has been accompanied by the development of a number of different approaches: a) for example, to promote reflective practice; professional development; b) empowerment; understanding of tacit professional knowledge; c) curriculum development; d) institutional change; and e) development of democratic management and administration. Proponents of all these share the common aim of ending the dislocation of research from practice, an aim which links them with those involved in participatory research and action inquiry. This journal publishes accounts of a range of action research and related studies, in education and across the professions, with the aim of making their outcomes widely available and exemplifying the variety of possible styles of reporting. It aims to establish and maintain a review of the literature of action research. It also provides a forum for dialogue on the methodological and epistemological issues, enabling different approaches to be subjected to critical reflection and analysis. The impetus for Educational Action Research comes from CARN, the Collaborative Action Research Network, and it is hoped by means of the journal to extend and strengthen this international network.
