“Action research is simply a form of self-reflexive inquiry undertaken by participants in social situations in order to improve the rationality and justice of their own practices, their understanding of these practices and the situations in which the practices are carried out”. (Carr and Kemmis 1986: 162). The type of research needed for educational practice can best be characterized as social management and/or engineering research. But if this is the context, the practice can be transformed into the concept of educational management with social and/or educational engineering. Educational researchers are attracted to Carr and Kemiss's understanding of action research because the primary focus of the theory is that of the teacher. /practitioner.

The systems and structures I have in place are not as effective as they could be. I need to implement a number of new initiatives, but I'm not sure how effective the new practice will be or how it might develop. I would like to build a search system that will ratify any concerns I have or that may come up against, and will lead to a set of practical solutions that I can use. I understand that any practice I undertake, whether educational or research, will be influenced by the context in which it is located. Any action aimed at finding a solution will make me understand my practice better, not... middle of paper ......assumptions. Evaluate, define and describe the problem(s) to be investigated and the context in which it must be inserted. It also describes what all stakeholders (educators, team members, managers, etc.) will/have done.2. Do – Interpret and explain. Evaluate, analyze and interpret the action research situation. Reflect on what the participants did. Examine any areas of success and any issues or problems that have arisen..3. Review: Troubleshooting and Troubleshooting. In evaluation, judge the effectiveness or appropriateness and results of activities undertaken. Then formulate a series of solutions to any problems.
