ACTION RESEARCH

PROCESS

DELFIN, IRISH & PERALES, VINCENT


WHAT IS AN
ACTION
RESEARCH???
ACTION RESEARCH……….
PROCESS OF INQUIRY

POSITIVE EFFECT FOR MULTIPLE REASONS

IMMEDIATE APPLICATION

IMPROVE PRACTICES
MAIN FEATURES

• ACTION RESEARCHES ARE SMALL SCALE AND NARROWLY FOCUSED


RESEARCHES UNDERTAKEN BY TEACHERS IN A GIVEN CONTEXT.
• TEACHERS, THE CLASSROOM PRACTITIONERS, FEEL AND SOLVE THE
PROBLEM
• ITS FINDINGS ARE TO BE EVALUATED IN TERMS OF LOCAL APPLICABILITY NOT
UNIVERSAL VALIDITY
• SINCE THE PRACTITIONER HIMSELF IS INVOLVED IN THE PROCESS OF
RESEARCH, THE FINDINGS ARE HIS OWN AND NOT THRUST UPON HIM BY
OUTSIDER, HENCE HE IS MORE LIKELY TO IMPLEMENT THEM
WHAT ARE
THE PROCESS
IN THE
CONDUCT OF
ACTION
RESEARCH???
PROCESS……
..

1. FOCUS SELECTION
IDENTIFYING A TOPIC THAT IS WORTH THE TIME OF TEACHERS
ESSENTIAL
2. CLARIFICATION OF THEORIES
IDENTIFY THE BELIEVES AND VALUES AND THEORETICAL
PERSPECTIVES WHICH THE RESEARCHERS HOLD ABOUT THEIR FOCUS
3. IDENTIFICATION OF RESEARCH QUESTIONS
GUIDE THE INQUIRY

4. DATA COLLECTION
USED TO JUSTIFY THEIR ACTIONS ARE RELIABLE AND VALID AT THE
SAME TIME
MOST INTIMIDATING PART OF ALL THE STEPS OF THE ACTION
RESEARCH PROCESS FOR AN OVERWORKED TEACHER

5. DATA ANALYSIS
USUALLY IMPLIES COMPLEX STATISTICAL CALCULATIONS, BUT THIS
IS RARELY TRUE IN CASE OF AN ACTION RESEARCHER
THE STORY TOLD BY THESE DATA’S & WHY DID THE STORY PLAY
THIS WAY
6. RESULT REPORTING
TEACHING IS CONSIDERED A LONELY PROFESSION
THE MOST COMMON AREAS FOR SHARING ACTION RESEARCH
ARE FACULTY MEETINGS, LUNCH SEMINARS, AND TEACHER CONFERENCES.
IT IS OBSERVED THAT EVERY YEAR MANY MORE TEACHERS ARE
CONTRIBUTING AND WRITING THEIR WORK FOR PUBLICATION TO HELP TO
FULFILL THE REQUIREMENTS.

7. INFORMED ACTION
ACTION PLANNING
METHODS OF ACTION RESEARCH
THERE ARE MANY METHODS TO CONDUCTING ACTION RESEARCH. SOME OF
THE METHODS INCLUDE:
• OBSERVING INDIVIDUALS OR GROUPS
• USING AUDIO AND VIDEO TAPE RECORDING
• USING STRUCTURED OR SEMI-STRUCTURED INTERVIEWS
• TAKING FIELD NOTES
• USING ANALYTIC MEMOING
• USING OR TAKING PHOTOGRAPHY
• DISTRIBUTING SURVEYS OR QUESTIONNAIRES
*RESEARCHERS CAN ALSO USE MORE THAN ONE OF THE METHODS ABOVE TO ASSIST THEM IN
COLLECTING RICH AND MEANINGFUL DATA.*
TYPES OF ACTION RESEARCH

• INDIVIDUAL ACTION RESEARCH INVOLVES WORKING INDEPENDENTLY ON A


PROJECT, SUCH AS AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEACHER CONDUCTING HER
OWN, IN-CLASS RESEARCH PROJECT WITH HER STUDENTS.
• COLLABORATIVE ACTION RESEARCH INVOLVES A GROUP OF TEACHERS
OR RESEARCHERS WORKING TOGETHER TO EXPLORE A PROBLEM THAT
MIGHT BE PRESENT BEYOND A SINGLE CLASSROOM, PERHAPS AT THE
DEPARTMENTAL LEVEL OR AN ENTIRE GRADE LEVEL.
• SCHOOL-WIDE ACTION RESEARCH GENERALLY FOCUSES ON ISSUES
PRESENT THROUGHOUT AN ENTIRE SCHOOL OR ACROSS THE DISTRICT.
TEAMS OF STAFF MEMBERS WOULD WORK TOGETHER USING SCHOOL-WIDE
ACTION RESEARCH. AS YOU CAN SEE, ACTION RESEARCH CAN BE USED IN
MANY EDUCATIONAL SETTINGS.
