"I plan to use this book with district administrators, building administrators, and building staff. All would find it an excellent tool for bringing about change in their organizations. It is infinitely readable, meaningful, and very useful."
"The material on the research process and the examples are terrific. Steps are clearly spelled out and practical suggestions hit the major problems teachers encounter in attempting research for the first time."
"This is not a theoretical book, but a hands-on resource that shows school leaders how to use action research to solve problems. (It) is a perfect guide for anyone attempting research. I found it easy to read and easy to understand."
"(With) more schools...operating as "learning communities," this is an excellent tool for schools conducting action research in their own settings. I also feel this text would be ideal for graduate students enrolled in advanced level courses in program evaluation, teacher research, and curriculum assessment. The...book is easy to read, has lots of practical advice and examples, and should appeal to the seasoned as well as the novice researcher."
"This book makes a new contribution to the literature on educational change (and) describes exciting and powerful ways for educators to plan for changes in school management and classroom practices."
"Drawing on principles of organizational learning and methods of practitioner research, Viviane Robinson’s Problem-Based Methodology is the result of many years of work with principals and teachers. This book is theoretically sophisticated, yet provides practical advice for implementing the method."
"Advisors with a passion for improving student learning and achievement will find that they have much in common with Robinson and lai. These authors are ardent about the use of problem-based methodology (PBM) by teachers and school leaders to investigate, examine, and test their practices and implicit theories. Those interested in implementing PBM will find that the book gives precise instruction, including outlines, details, and summaries supported by real examples of success."
