Understanding Action Research
Action Research is an immediate and practical form of research conducted by teachers, administrators, or school staff to improve their own teaching methods, classroom problems, and school functioning.
- Immediate Goal: Resolving specific local classroom or institutional issues.
- Practitioner-Led: Conducted primarily by educators themselves rather than external theorists.
- Contrast: Unlike fundamental research, it does not aim to establish universal or broad theoretical principles.
