Introduction Greet the participants and make Slide Decks 1-5 5 minutes
them comfortable.

ASK:
What are your thoughts about an
Action Research?

From this perspective, participants

will draw on their prior knowledge
of research before deciding what a
preliminary action research cycle
will look like.

Activity and Analysis Getting started in action research Slide Decks 6-15 10 minutes
SAY:
Today, we will be watching a video
lesson Action Research in
Education: Methods and Examples.
At the end of the video lesson,
participants should have been able

begin to investigate.

We will consider strategies for

starting an action research process.
The discussion will include ideas for
finding a research focus,either for
one’s own research or to assist

Action Research is a process of

systematic inquiry to improve
educational practices or resolve
problems in classrooms and
schools.

CONTINUING THE ACTION

This session explores in more
detail the emergent nature of
action research. It considers why
and how processes in action
research might change as
investigations of practice unfold.
We will also consider the role
played by reflection in action
research and how it contributes
to sustaining action research and
to initiating and deepening data
synthesis and analysis. In
relation to analysis, the session
addresses what is meant by
validity and reliability as applied
in action research, and considers
how robustness in action
research can be strengthened.
Participants will have an
opportunity to discuss any action
research they have initiated so far
and to consider directions for
further investigations.

Application Closing the Action Research Cycle Slide Decks 26-31 10 minutes
Meta Cards
In this final session, we will discuss
the summative stages and processes

action research that may be

appropriate for different audiences.

Debates about how action research

can/should be reported academically
are then considered and suggestions
will be made about getting action
research studies published. These
suggestions will be contextualised
within a body of action research
publications that is increasingly
informing the field of language
teaching
