Teacher action research allows teachers to study their own classrooms to improve education quality and empower teachers. It helps teachers develop knowledge directly from their classroom experiences, promotes reflective teaching, and expands teaching methods. Teachers can then implement practices best suited to their students' needs based on the data collected. Overall, action research facilitates teacher empowerment to make informed decisions that can enhance student achievement and create more effective learning communities.

2. Attractive option for teacher
researchers, school
administrative staff to conduct

8. (Johnson,2012 )AR facilitates
teacher empowerment – able
to collect and use data in
making informed decisions
about their own schools and
classrooms.

9.  After collecting the data , teachers can
implement practices that best meet
the needs of their pupils.
 In exercising their individual talents,
experiences and creative ideas within
the classroom, teachers are
empowered to make changes related
to teaching and learning- this will
enhance the pupil’s achievement
(Marks & Louis,1997;Sweetland &
Hoy,2002)
 Schools become more effective
learning communities.

10. Johnson (2012) AR bridges the gap between
research and practice e.g The theoretical
components underpinning AR practice are
used to help practitioners understand and
observe what is happening in the classroom.
