EMBEDDING ACTION RESEARCH FOR REFLECTIVE TEACHING

The episode focuses on doing action research as one of the roles of the teacher. Every teacher should interest to know how students learn, wants to make innovations in the curriculum and desire to teaching practice. In order to achieve these, a teacher has to do action research on the everyday practical problems. These problematic situations and observed discrepancies emerge between what is intended and what actually occurs in the classroom. 

Action Research is a process that allows teachers to study their own classrooms, schools, and educational settings in prder to understand them better and to improve their quality and effectiveness. The process of observation, reflection and inquiry lead to action that makes difference in teaching and learning. It bridges doing (practice) and learning (study) and reflection(inquiry).
