However, if as educators were are committed to preparing our students for participation in the world at large, then we must accept the challenge to deal with the world's toys. The processes of Action Research Description Action research has dual goals of action and research. It investigates aspects of current practice in order to improve that practice. It is undertaken to investigate real concerns, to take action to solve problems and at the same time contribute to the knowledge base of the profession. It aims at increased understanding of a particular situation or problem, and provides a basis for making decisions, establishing directions, and taking actions to make improvements.
Action research is collaborative in nature.
It is a group activity, and all those involved share the responsibility for the outcome of the project. The problem that is at the heart of the action research represents a shared concern of all group members. In action research, critical reflection and feedback are essential components, based on the data gathered. The research process To undertake action research, you do not need to be a professional researcher. It does require you to be a reflective practitioner, a team member, and someone who is willing to contribute to the problem identification, provide viewpoints on various options, take an active role in implementing the chosen course of action, and able to evaluate its outcomes and set directions.
