Introduction
•
Action research is basically learning by doing. First,
a problem is identified, then some actions are
taken to address it, then how well the efforts
worked are measured, and if the results are not
satisfactory, the steps are applied again.
•
The best way to get things accomplished is to do it
yourself. This statement is utilized in corporations,
community projects, and national governments.

Groups
of Action Research
Positivist:
•
This type of research is also called “classical
action research.” It considers research a
social experiment. This research is used to
test theories in the actual world.
Critical
:
•
This is a sort of action research that takes a
critical approach to corporate systems and
tries to enhance them.
●●●
6
Groups
of Action Research
Interpretive:
•
This kind of research is called
“contemporary action research.” It thinks
that business reality is socially made, and
when doing this research, it focuses on the
details of local and organizational factors.
7
Stages
of Action Research
Stage 1: Plan
•
For an action research project to go well, the
researcher needs to plan it well. After
coming up with a research topic or question
after a research study, the first step is to
develop an action plan to guide the research
process.
•
The research plan aims to address the
study’s question.
●●●
8
Stages
of Action Research
Stage 2: Act
•
The next step is implementing the plan and
gathering data. At this point, the researcher
must select how to collect and organize
research data.
•
The researcher also needs to examine all
tools and equipment before collecting data to
ensure they are relevant, valid, and
comprehensive.
●●●
9
Stages
of Action Research
Stage 3: Observe
•
Data observation is vital to any
investigation. The action researcher needs
to review the project’s goals and
expectations before data observation.
•
This is the final step before drawing
conclusions and taking action.
●●●
10
Stages
of Action Research
Stage 4: Reflect
•
This step involves applying a prospective
solution and observing the results. It’s
essential to see if the possible solution
found through research can really solve
the problem being studied.
11
Examples
of Action Research
•
Action research initiatives are frequently
situation-specific. Still, other researchers
can adapt the techniques.
•
The example is from a researcher’s
(Franklin, 1994) report about a project
encouraging nature tourism in the
Caribbean.
●●●
12
Examples
of Action Research
•
In 1991, action research was launched to study
how nature tourism may be implemented on
the four Windward Islands in the Caribbean: St.
Lucia, Grenada, Dominica, and St. Vincent.
•
For environmental protection, a government-
led action study determined that the
consultation process needs to involve numerous
stakeholders, including commercial enterprises.
●●●
13
Examples
of Action Research
•
First, two researchers undertook the study and
held search conferences on each island. The
search conferences resulted in suggestions and
action plans for local community nature tourism
sub-projects.
•
Several islands formed advisory groups and
launched national awareness and community
projects.
●●●
14
Examples
of Action Research
•
Regional project meetings were held to
discuss experiences, self-evaluations, and
strategies.
•
Creating a documentary about a local
initiative helped build community. And the
study was a success, leading to a number of
changes in the area.
15
Conclusion
Action research is a process for improving
educational practice. Its methods involve action,
evaluation, and reflection. It is a process to gather
evidence to implement change in practices.
Action research is participative and collaborative.
It is undertaken by individuals with a common
purpose.
