It is a reflective process that helps staff explore and examine aspects of teaching and learning and to take action to change and improve.

The action research project would include the following written components:

• Identify a classroom problem, issue, or challenge

• Define the problem including the context of research including the school, classroom, population, or cultural contexts that apply.

• Identify methods and plan (analysis of probable causes and formulation of Action hypotheses)

• Implement Action based on hypotheses

• Collect and analyze data

• Communication of findings to others and how practice is changed or improved
