Action Research

• Action research is a reflective process where teachers systematically investigate their own practice to solve problems and improve their teaching strategies.

Steps in Action Research:

1. Identifying a Problem: The teacher identifies a specific problem or area for improvement.

2. Planning: The teacher develops a plan or intervention to address the problem.

3. Action: The plan is implemented in the classroom.

4. Observation and Data Collection: The teacher gathers data (through observations, tests, or surveys) to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention

5. Reflection and Analysis: The teacher reflects on the outcomes and modifies teaching strategies as needed.

Importance of Action Research:

• Helps teachers become reflective practitioners.

• Leads to continuous improvement in teaching practices.

• Encourages collaboration with peers.

• Addresses specific classroom challenges in a practical, data-driven way.
