It provides the necessary theoretical and research perspectives and describes the detail how to manage the project stage by stage, covering planning, implementation, evaluation and change management. In addition, it looks at the operational practicalities and describes eight subprojects: staff development; communication systems; the classroom compass; practice experience; documentation; electronic' library and media resources, as well as reviewing the post implementation situation.

Reviews
'To date little has been written about this approach and even less has been written about the process of implementing this new model of education Dankay Cleverly has now provided a very readable and useful text on just that topic. Her book will be a valuable resource to anyone interested in inquiry-based learning, as it provides a thorough description of IBL and the theoretical perspectives underpinning it. It also gives very good detail about the process of implementation that could easily be transferred to any setting.' - Dr Elizabeth Rideout, Coordinator CHS Nursing Programme, McMaster University, Ontario, Canada 'This book is... very timely Nursing/health and social care educators will find it interesting and very useful.' - Professor Sally Glen, Dean, St Bartholomew School of Nursing and Midwifery, City University, UK
