Action Research
Action research is a form of investigation designed for use by teachers to attempt to solve problems and improve professional practices in their own classrooms. It involves systematic observations and data collection which can be then used by the practitioner - researcher in reflection, decision -making and the development of more effective classroom strategies.
Five Phases of Action Research
1. Selecting an area or focus:
- Identifying an area of interest
- Focus on students
- Look at both immediate and cumulative effects
2. Collecting data
- Collect existing archival data
- Use additional multiple data sources
- Collect data regularly
- Promote collective ownership of data
- Monitor data collection
3. Organizing data
- Count instances, events, and artifacts
- Display data in tables and charts
- Arrange data by classroom, grade level, and school
- Organize for analysis
4. Analyzing and interpreting data
- Analyze and question the data as a professional collective
- Decide what can be celebrated and what needs attention
- Determine priority area(s) for action
5. Studying the professional literature
- Identify professional literature that relates to or matches the interest, research syntheses, articles, videotapes, etc.
- Analyze and interpret these materials for understanding and action
