• Study leads directly to action.

• Teachers are directly involved.

• Study is scientific in nature.

The purpose of Innovation, intervention, and Strategy in action research is to

• make changes to existing practices, introducing new approaches, or testing alternative solutions that document the implementation process, and any modifications made along the way.

• assess the effectiveness of the interventions, and measure progress towards your goals.

• develop an action plan that outlines the steps you will take to address the identified problem.

• Use this information to refine your approach, make necessary adjustments, and plan for the next cycle of action research if needed.

Which of the following shows the correct sequence in undertaking Action Research based studies?

• Planning, acting on the plan, observing, and reflecting

• Calculate statistical differences

• Improve practices/processes

• participate in designing surveys

The purpose of reflection in action research is to

• is to develop an action plan to guide the research process.

• examine all tools and equipment before collecting data to ensure they are relevant, valid, and comprehensive.

• review the project’s goals and expectations before data observation.

• see if the possible solution found through research can really solve the problem being studied.

The purpose of context and rationale in action research is to

• develop an action plan to guide the research process.

• gain insights, identify gaps, and inform your research design.

• review the project’s goals and expectations before data observation.

• see if the possible solution found through research can really solve the problem being studied.

One of the following is not the objective of action research
