Educational Inclusion as Action Research

By Christine O'Hanlon

In a detailed elaboration of action research as a basis for teacher professional development, this volume locates inclusive practice in a discursive process that continually interprets its meaning while at the same time inevitably changes educational cultures. The text begins by linking government policy with social justice and inclusion issues and argues that inclusion is currently promoted via a democratic political process, which needs to be complemented at a professional level through the demonstration of democratic and inclusive procedures in the investigatory process itself.
