Doing Practitioner Research Differently encourages those embarking on practitioner research to consider the validity of innovative methods and styles of reporting. The book looks at three methods of enquiry and reporting - visualisation, conversation and fictional writing.
Using practitioners' own accounts and research reports as case studies, this book explores the reasons why some practitioners reject the traditional research methods. It looks at the challenges faced by these practitioners and the conditions in higher education that encourage or inhibit innovative practitioner research. The case studies used illustrate that there are modes of enquiry and reporting that can foster the development of professional thinking and practice.

'... as I embarked upon this review, I found myself wriing in a more personal style than is customary for me. I discovered that I was charting my personal reactions to the contributions as well as recording my academic impressions about the substance of the book. Maybe this tells us something about the overall success of the collection.' - Nancy Falchikov, Journal of Further and Higher Education
