What is Action Research? Research : Re + Search  Is a very systematic work  It directs towards the solution of the problem  It is a very formal work  It is based upon intensive observation  It involves the scientific methods  It involves the steps like: I- Identification of the Problem II- Objectives and Hypothesis Formulation III- Observation/Collection of Data IV- Analysis of Observed Facts/Data V- Result and Conclusion 4 Directory of Business Research Methods (HRMARS)

Continue…. Research is of two types: 1. Fundamental/Basic research 2. Applied/Action Research Fundamental Research  Fundamental research is also called as pure research.  Theories and principles are developed by conducting Fundamental research.  It is concerned with some fundamental, major and vital issues.  Broad generalizations are possible through fundamental research. 5 Directory of Business Research Methods (HRMARS)

Continue…… Applied/Action Research  It carries most of characteristics of fundamental research.  It is also called as field research.  The main concern of applied/action research is to immediate solution of the problem.  The practical day-to-day problems are taken to be conducted in applied/action research.  The areas of the problems like: educational, social, personal, psychological etc.  Action research is a branch of applied research which deals the problems occur in the school.  The problems may be related with the students, teachers, principals, counselors and administrators. 6 Directory of Business Research Methods (HRMARS)

Main objective is to immediate solution of school related problems. 2.An average teacher can do it 3.A particular classroom children can be taken 4.

Definition of Action Research C. V. Good: “Action research is a research used by teachers, supervisors and administrators to improve the quality of their decision and action” John Best & Kahn: “Action research is focused on the immediate application and not on the development of theory. It has placed its emphasis on a real problem in a local setting. Its finding are to be evaluated in terms of local applicability, not in terms of universal validity” 8 Directory of Business Research Methods (HRMARS)

Field of Action Research Study the needs of the children. Study the interest of the children. Problems of discipline. Social problems. Problems of learning. Improvement of the curriculum. Problems of teachers. Problems of students attendance. 9 Directory of Business Research Methods (HRMARS)

Steps of Action Research I. Identification of the Problem II. Formation of Objectives and Hypothesis III. Collection of Data by using suitable Tools/Techniques IV.
