the issues in their classroomlearning
issues,
behavioural
issues or relationship issues. in
order to take this look, teachers
are called upon to be action
researchers.
Action research is a disciplined
process of inquiry conducted by
and for those taking the action.
This will assist the actor (in this
case, teacher), in improving or
refining his or her actions (Sagor,
2000).
There must be an area of focus
that is significant personally or
professionally.
A plan of action should be
developed to carefully treat the
issue. From the findings or data
collection, other issues may arise
that are worth exploring, thus
making action research cyclical.
