Definition and Concepts

It is a systematic inquiry, made public, and detailed
records are kept.
Conceived it as a three-step spiral process of..
(1) Planning
(2) Taking actions
(3) fact-finding about the results of action
(Kurt Lewin, 1946)

Action research is simply a form of self-reflective

enquiry undertaken by participants in social situations
in order to improve the rationality and justice of their
own practices, their understanding of these practices,
and the situations in which the practices are carried
out.
(Carr & Kemmis, 1986)
