In Chapter 3 of Action Research:
A Guide for the Teacher Researcher
, the debate over the role of the literature process is discussed.
Mills (2014) remarks,
Some researchers have argued that reviewing the literature
curtails inductive analysis—using induction to determine the
direction of the research—and should be avoided at the early
stages of the research process. Others suggest that the review
of related literature is important early in the action research
process because it helps action researchers identify underlying
assumptions behind their research questions and helps the
researcher refine research questions and embed them in guiding
hypotheses that provide possible direction to follow (p.74).
