What is Action Research and Why is it Important?

\nAction research is a cyclical process of inquiry, reflection, and action undertaken by educators to solve problems or improve practices.

By engaging in action research, teachers, administrators, and other educational professionals can gain a deeper understanding of their work, identify areas for improvement, and implement evidence-based solutions. \n \nThis book demystifies the action research process, providing step-by-step guidance on how to formulate research questions, collect and analyze data, and implement and evaluate interventions. You'll learn how to identify areas in your school that could benefit from improvement and how to systematically address them. Examples are provided to illustrate research designs and implementation.
