Action research is a systematic way for educators to ask and answer questions that arise in their personal classrooms or campuses. you are able to choose a topic or problem that is of particular interest to you or your school.The research actually takes place where the teacher or principal works with the students in their classroom or school. Educators formulate questions, collect data that will help answer the questions, analyze the data collected, present the findings of their research to their colleagues, and actually apply the information discovered to improve student achievement. That is the "action" part of action research-putting into practice what you have learned along the way and sharing what you have learned.
Action research is not what you first think of when you hear the word "research." It is not spending hours in the library reading about what other people have done, although there is a literature review. It is spending hours in the classroom or school on a journey for knowledge about how to change your practice and grow as a teacher or principal.
