What is an action research in education?

In schools, action research refers to a wide variety of evaluative, investigative, and

analytical research methods designed to diagnose problems or weaknesses—whether
organizational, academic, or instructional—and help educators develop practical
solutions to address them quickly and efficiently.

Preservice and inservice educators get crucial step-by-step guidance for conducting
classroom- and school-based studies to improve their instructional practices. Organized
to mirror the full cycle of action research, the book provides balanced coverage of
qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods approaches. Vivid vignettes and examples
illustrate research approaches for a range of teaching and learning situations, school
subjects, and age groups (PreK–12). Readers learn how research approaches are driven
by the research question, as well as how to develop data collection strategies; design
and/or evaluate assessment tools; interpret, analyze, report, and implement study results;
and design a new cycle of research that builds on the previous one.
