Action research is research with substance. When people hear the word research you usually get a negative feeling. Most people think of research as sitting in the library for hours finding several sources so that a paper can be done. I was happy to find out that action research does not entail this at all! Action research deals more with the day to day problems that administrators and teachers face on a day to day basis. Action research is seen as a very effective tool that gets results.
Administrators and teachers look at the current issues that are effecting the school and try to find solutions to those problems. Next, team members come together and try to find anything that will help them in implementing a plan to solve the issues at hand. Finally, team members go out and implement what they planned to do. Once the teachers and administrators are given time they will come together and share what they learned from the group. Meeting together allows members to share what worked in particular situations.
