Action Research Building Powerful Learning Communities

What is Action Research? Action Research is a process through which teachers collaborate in evaluating their practice, try out new strategies, and record their work in a form that is understandable by other teachers. John Elliott. (1991). Action Research for Educational Change. Philadelphia: Open University Press/Milton Keynes.

AR is based on the following assumptions: Educators work best on problems they have identified for themselves Teachers and principals become more effective when encouraged to examine and assess their own work, and then consider ways of working differently

Assumptions, continued Teachers and principals need time and space away from their daily routine to think deeply about their work Teachers and principals can provide help, support and encouragement by working collaboratively

Action Research is systematic and involves collecting evidence on which to base rigorous reflection.

Action Research involves problem posing, not just problem solving. It does not start from a view of problems as pathologies. It is motivated by a quest to improve and understand the world by changing it and learning how to improve it from the effects of the changes made.

Action Research is research by particular people on their own work to help them improve what they do and how they work with others.

Action Research is concerned with changing situations, not just interpreting them.

Action Research is an evolving process of changing both the researcher and the situations in which he or she works.

Action Research: Five Phases 1. Problem Identification Why do you want to study this topic? Is this problem broad enough to allow for a range of insights and narrow enough to be manageable?

Action Research: Five Phases 2. Plan of Action Will you look at your existing practices or develop and implement a new strategy? What data do you need to learn about your question?

Action Research: Five Phases 3. Data Collection What, why, when, where and how will you collect your data? How will you ensure that you have multiple perspectives?

Action Research: Five Phases 4. Data Analysis What can you learn from your data? What patterns, insights, and new understandings can you discover?

Action Research: Five Phases 5. Plan for Future Actions What will you do differently in your class/school as a result of this study? How will you write about what you have learned so that your findings will be useful to others?

Final Action Research Report Identify Question addressed Instrument used to collect data Data used Reflections Conclusions (Future directions)
