    Action research is a process where teachers systematically examine their own educational practices using research techniques. It is based on the assumptions that teachers work best on self-identified problems, become more effective when encouraged to examine their work, and help each other by collaborating. Action research aims to solve local problems rather than develop generalizable theories. It is carried out by local education professionals and uses purposive rather than random samples. The goal of action research is to improve teaching practices by having teachers identify issues, collect data, analyze it, develop plans, implement plans, evaluate results, and identify new issues to study.

    ACTION RESEARCH

    LET’s BEGIN NOW

    What is action research


    Action Research is a process in which participants examine their own educational practice
    systematically and carefully, using the techniques of research.
    (Watts, 1985, p.118)

    Action Research is based on the following assumptions:


    1. Teachers and principals work best on problems they have identified
    for themselves;
    2. Teachers and principals become more effective when encouraged
    to examine and assess their own work and then consider ways of
    working differently; and
    3. Teachers and principals help each other by working collaboratively.

    (Watts, 1985, p.118)


    GENERAL QUESTIONS OF ACTION RESEARCH

    1.What kind of methods work best with certain types of students?


    2.How can teachers encourage students to think about important
    issues?
    3.How can content, teaching strategies and learning activities be
    varied to help students?
    4.How can subject matter be better presented to promote
    understanding?

    Why Should Teacher do Action Research?

    1. To help them notice what they and their students really do, rather than what they
    think they do
    2. To get feedback as to the success or failure of what they are doing
    3. To help them tailor teaching and learning to their learners and their settings, so that
    they are able to justify the teaching and learning choices they make
    4. To increase their knowledge of learning and teaching and become authorities on
    teaching
    5. To become less dependent on decisions made by people who are far away from their
    learning and teaching sites
    6. To ensure that they don’t become bored with teaching

    Steps in Action Research
    These routines are loosely guided
    by movement through five phases of
    inquiry:
    1. Identify a problem to be studied
    2. Collect data on the problem
    3. Organize, analyze, and interpret the data
    4. Develop a plan to address the problem
    5. Implement the plan
    6. Evaluate the results of the actions taken
    7. Identify a new problem
    8. Repeat the process
    Advantages of Action Research

    1. It can be done by an individual or a group


    2. It improves educational practice and helps create better
    professionals
    3. Educators can develop ways to improve their craft
    4. The researchers identify the problems systematically
    5. It can lead to the development of research oriented individuals

    Conclusion

    Action research is an approach by one or two individuals or


    groups for the purpose of solving a problem or obtaining
    information to inform local practice.These may have practical
    applications i.e. How to decrease the incidence of absenteeism
    in class; motivate apathetic students; improve the teaching of
    mathematics or to increase funding.
    Although there are many types of research that may be
    undertaken, action research specifically refers to a disciplined
    inquiry done by a teacher with the intent that the research will
    inform and change his or her practices in the future.
    Implicit to the term action research is the idea that teachers will
    begin a cycle of posing questions, gathering data, reflection
    and deciding a course of action.
