Action research is a
development tool for a teacher that involves observing or gathering other data
about a class through interviews, case studies, and questionnaires. A teacher
can establish a cycle of identifying problems, planning changes in response, implementing
changes and gathering and analysing data to evaluate the implementation. Action
research can be used to help general development or to resolve specific
problems with teaching or learners.
Example
A teacher has problems with giving feedback to learners on speaking problems
and decides to record their classes. They then analyse the recordings to
identify more effective ways of correction. They implement changes based on
this, and collect data to analyse whether feedback is now more useful to learners.
In the classroom
Peer observations, learner and teacher diaries, audio and video recordings,
case studies, questionnaires and interviews with learners are all methods that
can be used to gather data for action research.
