- 5. What Is Action Research? • Action research is a research method that aims to simultaneously investigate and solve an issue. • It was first coined as a term in 1944 by MIT professor Kurt Lewin. • Particularly popular with educators as a form of systematic inquiry, it prioritizes reflection and bridges the gap between theory and practice. • Due to the nature of the research, it is also sometimes called a cycle of action or a cycle of inquiry.

- 8. Types of Action Research (Researcher and Participants Dynamics) 1. Participatory action research is centered on the belief that those who are most impacted by research (participants) should be the ones taking the lead in framing the questions, the design, methods, and the modes of analysis of such research projects.
- 9. Example 1: Participatory Action Research As part of an ongoing commitment to improve school facilities for students with disabilities, an action research plan asked students using wheelchairs to time how long it took them to get to and from various points on school grounds. After the information was collected, the students were asked where they thought ramps or other accessibility measures would be best utilized, and the suggestions were sent to school administrators.
- 10. Types of Action Research (Researcher and Participants Dynamics) 2. Practical action research focuses more on how research is conducted and is designed to address and solve specific issues. It concentrates on the notion that when the process is improved, the organization is also likely to improve.
- 11. Science teachers at your city’s high school have been witnessing a year-over-year decline in standardized test scores in chemistry. In seeking the source of this issue, they studied how concepts are taught in depth, focusing on the methods, tools, and approaches used by each teacher. They found that there had been no change in how chemistry was taught in the last decade—with no incorporation of more modernized teaching approaches or useful online tools. Teachers resolved to implement more modern techniques in their teaching to see if that could improve scores. Example 2: Practical Action Research
- 13. Action Research Models (Process of Conducting Action Research) 1. Operational (or technical) action research is usually visualized like a spiral following a series of steps, such as “planning → acting → observing → reflecting.” 2. Collaboration action research is more community-based, focused on building a network of similar individuals (e.g., college professors in a given geographic area) and compiling learnings from iterated feedback cycles. 3. Critical reflection action research serves to contextualize systemic processes that are already ongoing (e.g., working retroactively to analyze existing school systems by questioning why certain practices were put into place and developed the way they did).
- 15. Action Research vs. Traditional Research Action research differs sharply from other types of research in that it seeks to produce actionable processes over the course of the research rather than contributing to existing knowledge or drawing conclusions from datasets. In this way, action research is formative, not summative, and is conducted in an ongoing, iterative way.

Editor's Notes
- In other words, as its name suggests, action research conducts research and takes action at the same time. It was first coined as a term in 1944 by MIT professor Kurt Lewin. A highly interactive method, action research is often used in the social sciences, particularly in educational settings.
- Both types of action research are more focused on increasing the capacity and ability of future practitioners than contributing to a theoretical body of knowledge.
