Action Research is a hands-on approach that allows educators
to find solutions for any situation. Action
Research allows principals to ask questions and look for the best possible solution
to fit the needs of the school. The
first step is collecting data in order to analyze the problem. The second step is to determine a solution,
and the third step is to evaluate the solution.
Those doing the research are familiar with the school and have hands on
experience analyzing the problem. Together
with the administration, the team can form the best way to create an action
plan. Action research allows all parties
which include the principal, administration and all stakeholders to encourage
one another to work collectively with researchers to make sure the best
solution is implemented. By working
together with one another you are more invested in implementing a solution for
success. Action research can be used in
many ways; some of those ways are listed below:
