Detailed Explanation
Understanding Action Research in Education
Action Research is a specialized form of investigation conducted by teachers, educators, and practitioners to find practical solutions to immediate classroom and institutional problems, as well as to improve daily working methodologies.
- Historical Context: While the theoretical foundations of action research originate from Kurt Lewin's field theory and social psychology, Stephen M. Corey is primarily credited with introducing and popularizing its application within the field of formal education.
- Core Objective: Unlike fundamental research, which aims to generate universal theories and broad generalizations, action research focuses heavily on localized, context-specific problem-solving to enhance immediate teaching and learning practices.
