3. Types of Action Research:
THERE ARE DIFFERENT TYPES OF ACTION RESEARCH DEPENDING UPON THE PARTICIPANTS INVOLVED. A PLAN OF RESEARCH CAN INVOLVE A SINGLE TEACHER INVESTIGATING AN ISSUE IN HIS OR HER CLASSROOM, A GROUP OF TEACHERS WORKING ON A COMMON PROBLEM, OR A TEAM OF TEACHERS AND OTHERS FOCUSING ON A SCHOOL- OR DISTRICT-WIDE ISSUE. 

4. Types of Action Research:
Individual action (teacher) research:
Focus: single issue in the classroom
Topics: problems of classroom management, instructional strategies, use of materials, student learning, student participation etc.
Drawbacks: it may not be shared with others
2. Collaborative action research (a group of several teachers and others interested in addressing a classroom or department issue).
Focus: a classroom or a common problem shared by many classrooms These teachers may be supported by individuals outside of the school, such as a university or community partner.

5. Types of Action Research:
3. School-wide action research:
Focus : common issues
Topics: parental involvement, organizational and decision-making structures, test scores that need improvement, Team work and individual contributions to the whole, ownership and accomplishment.
4. District/Country/department-wide action research to address a problem common to several schools or education management (office).
Focus: the involvement of multiple groups can lend energy to the process and create an environment of genuine stakeholders.
