D. Kember et J. Mckay, ACTION RESEARCH INTO THE QUALITY OF STUDENT LEARNING - A PARADIGM FORFACULTY-DEVELOPMENT, The Journal of higher education, 67(5), 1996, pp. 528

perspective transformation through discourse. Gathering interpretive
data provides evidence to convince uncommitted departmental colleagues
and can result in publications.
