"The issue of quality in learning is of the highest importance. Institutions around the world are increasingly moving to new models of funding, scrutiny and accountability. This book presents the methods used across a range of institutions to acclaimed effect." "In Action Learning and Action Research, David Kember and his colleagues present their own experiences in Hong Kong universities, where they pioneered the use of action learning methods for the improvement of teaching and learning. This book is based on experiences within the Action Learning Project, an inter-institutional initiative which supported 90 action research projects in eight universities in Hong Kong." "Opening with a detailed consideration of the theory of action learning, the book then presents a detailed, step-by-step route through the use of the technique. In doing so, it equips the reader with a practical guide to the issues and background to establishing projects, and their potential benefits. The book ends with an extensive conclusion and reflection on the lessons of the project, which will be of great value to researchers and all those needing to take practical measures in educational development. More than simplythe results of the project, the book explores in detail approaches to enhancing education and will act as an indispensable guide for anyone wishing to use this technique inhis or her own work."-BOOK JACKET.
