4. Definition
Carr and Kemis (1986), who described it as follows: Action
research is simply a form of self-reflective enquiry undertaken
by participants in order to improve the rationality and justice
of their own practices, their understanding of those practices
and the situations in which the practices are carried out. (p. 162)

5. Action research is carried out by
teachers in their context, in their
classrooms. Teachers identify a
problem or an area they wish to
improve and based on theory or
experience or a hypothesis they think
of an intervention. They document
the intervention and results of it. If
the results are positive they could
lead to the dissemination of the
information. If not, the cycle may be
started again. (Iraís, Tlaxcala)

7. Action research in education is any systematic inquiry conducted by
teachers, principals, school counselors, or other stakeholders in the
teaching–learning environment that involves gathering information
about the ways in which their particular schools operate, the teachers
teach, and the students learn. This information is gathered with the goals
of gaining insight, developing reflective practice, effecting positive
changes in the school environment (and on educational practices in
general), and improving student outcomes and the lives of those involved.
Conclusion

8. Types of Action Research
It is democratic, enabling the participation of all
people
It is equitable, acknowledging people’s equality of
worth.
It is liberating, providing freedom from oppressive,
debilitating conditions.
It is life-enhancing, enabling the expression of
people’s full human potential. (italics in original, p. 11.)
● Critical Action Research

9. Practical Action Reseacrh
individual teachers or teams of teachers are autonomous and
can determine the nature of the investigation to be undertaken.
Other assumptions are that teacher researchers are committed
to continued professional development and school improvement
and that they want to reflect on their practices
systematically.

10. Key Characteristics of Action Research
Action Research is Persuasive and
Authoritative
Research done by teachers for
teachers involves collecting persuasive
data.
Action Research is Relevant
Is perhaps the most common
concern raised by teachers when asked
about the practical applications of
educational research.

11. Action Research is Accessible
Action research addresses several key concerns about accessibility.
Action Research Challenges the Intractability of Reform of the
Educational System
Action research gives teacher researchers the opportunity to
embrace a problem-solving philosophy and practice.
Action Research is Not a Fad
Action research is decidedly not a fad for one simple reason.

12. The Action Research Process

13. One technique that can help in identifying an area of focus is
to ensure that four criteria are satisfied:
the area of focus should involve teaching and learning and
should focus on your own practice;
the area of focus is something within your locus of control;
the area of focus is something you feel passionate about;
and
the area of focus is something you would like to change or
improve.

14. Gaining Insight Through Self-Reflection
Begin reconnaissance by exploring your own understandings of the theories that
affect your practice, the educational values you hold, how your work in schools fits
into the larger context of schooling and society, the historical contexts of your
school and schooling and how things got to be the way they are, and the historical
contexts of how you came to believe what it is that you believe about teaching and
learning.
Gaining Insight Through Descriptive Activities
After you’ve adequately described the situation you intend to investigate, you can
try to explain it. Focus on the why.

15. Collecting, Analyzing, and
Interpreting Data
Data collection techniques used in
action research depend on the area of
focus.
Qualitative data collection
techniques are more often applied to
action research problems than are
quantitative methods and designs.

16. Action Planning
Action research is action oriented.
