Abstract

Examines the conduct of a practitioner-led action research program in Scottish literacy, and challenges the extent to which PLAR can be adopted as a professional development strategy. Expresses caution about the potential for PLAR to reinforce individualized and managerial approaches to the field as promoted by new public management.
