What is Action Research?
“Any systematic inquiry conducted by teachers, counselors, or others with a vested interest in the teaching and learning process or operate, how they teach, and how their students learn” (Mills, 2011).

What is Action Research?
“A gap is sometimes perceived by educators. There is a need for best practices, but at times the research findings from researchers to practitioners breaks down” (Johnson, 2008).

What is Action Research?
“Action research is done by educators for themselves and is a systematic inquiry into their own practice” (Johnson, 2008).

Identifying & Limiting the TopicCategorization assists in focusing upon a topic.
Mertler and Charles (2011) list the following educational research topics:• Classroom Management• Instructional Methods• Relation of Human Growth Patterns to Education• Grading and Evaluation• Conferencing
![Page 11: Action Research Made Easier - txgifted.org · quantitative and qualitative research. (4th ed., p. 581). Boston, MA: Pearson Education, Inc. What is Action Research?

Identifying & Limiting the TopicCategorization in Gifted Education:
• Assessment• Program Design• Instructional Methods • Social/Emotional Needs• Diverse Populations• Advocacy
![Page 12: Action Research Made Easier - txgifted.org · quantitative and qualitative research. (4th ed., p. 581). Boston, MA: Pearson Education, Inc. What is Action Research?

Identifying & Limiting the Topic
Broad Topic
• What teachers’ lives are like outside of school
• Factors that affect learning among culturally diverse students
• Visual dissection versus real dissection of lab specimens
Narrowed Version of Topic
• Leisure activities of elementary and the amount of time spent on them
• Hispanic student's perceptions of factors that make academic success more difficult
• Tenth-grade biology students’ perceptions of virtual and real animal dissections

Identifying & Limiting the Topic
Based upon your topic:• Formulate research question(s).• Consider HOW they might be answered; if too
broad, revise.• Know that they may continue to be revised as
you move through steps 2, 3, & 4.
![Page 14: Action Research Made Easier - txgifted.org · quantitative and qualitative research. (4th ed., p. 581). Boston, MA: Pearson Education, Inc. What is Action Research?

Gathering Information
Begin to build your idea:• Explore your own perceptions about the
topic• Begin to look into topic via professional
journals• Explore “less-academic” sources such as
teacher’s manuals, resource guides, blogs, Pinterest, etc.
![Page 16: Action Research Made Easier - txgifted.org · quantitative and qualitative research. (4th ed., p. 581). Boston, MA: Pearson Education, Inc. What is Action Research?

Gathering InformationExamine Research Question Systematically (Step 2 Template: Probing the Question)
• What evidence exists that what you perceive is a problem is an actual problem?• Who are the stakeholders (specific students, administrators, parents, etc.) that are affected by
the problem?• How is this program, material, concept, etc. currently implemented, taught, etc.?• How is the this program, material, concept, etc. currently reinforced or maintained?• How is the effectiveness or mastery of this program, material, concept, etc. currently evaluated
or assessed?• Where does the program, material, concept, etc. fit into the program's mission, course content,
etc.?• When during the school year does this program occur, is the material taught, is the concept
covered, etc.?

Gathering Information
Based upon your discoveries:• Consider your research question(s).• AGAIN, consider HOW they might be
answered; if too broad or too narrow, revise.
![Page 18: Action Research Made Easier - txgifted.org · quantitative and qualitative research. (4th ed., p. 581). Boston, MA: Pearson Education, Inc. What is Action Research?

Gathering InformationBased upon your question(s) & preliminary fact gathering, formulate a HYPOTHESIS
• Informed through:• Self reflection• Historical context of teaching & learning in your
school/program/district• Guided by discoveries through investigation of “current “state of
affairs” with respect to condition(s) you wish to change or improve

Reviewing Related LiteratureGood Reasons for doing Literature Review:• You are able to better identify your problem, develop your
research design, and develop your overall project (Rousseau and Tam, 1996)
• It can provide opportunities for replication or provide insight for potential research problems (Mertler, 2014)
• Helps prevent the “recreation of the wheel” if a solution already exists (Mertler, 2014)

driving, etc. (OK, maybe not while driving)• Have a statistician review your statistical analysis • OTHER TIPS???

So, what is Action Research?“Action research is not a library project where we learn more about a topic that interests us.
It is not problem-solving in the sense of trying to find out what is wrong, but rather a quest for knowledge about how to improve.
Action research is not about doing research on or about people, or finding all available information on a topic looking for the correct answers. It involves people working to improve their skills, techniques, and strategies.
Action research is not about learning why we do certain things, but rather how we can do things better.”
(Ferrance, 2008)
