Here’s a short description of action research.
TRANSCRIPT:
Teaching is a craft. It’s both an art and a science, which is why great teachers always experiment and make tons of mistakes.
But how do you know what’s actually working?
One option is action research.
Here you can identify a question or problem, test out a strategy, gather data, and determine if it works.
The end result is something dynamic, innovative, and tied directly to your classroom.
Action research dissolves the barrier between participants and researchers. In other words, the teacher actively participates in the situation while conducting the research.
There are many action research frameworks, but they generally follow a similar process:
You start out in phase one, planning for research.
Phase One: Planning for Research
It starts with an inquiry process, where you define a specific research question. It needs to be something you can actually test. Next, you conduct a literature review to gain a deeper understanding of the related research.
Finally, you move into the design process, where you determine your data methods, consider ethical issues, get required permissions, create deadlines and set up systems.
This is where you engage in multiple cycles of experimentation and data collection. Your data collection might include qualitative data, like observations, artifacts, and interviews or quantitative data like rubric scores, surveys, or achievement data.
Phase Three: Analysis
You will often start by organizing data with charts or graphs and looking for trends. You might also discuss it with peers, free write in a journal, or create a cluster map before eventually writing out your results.
Phase Four: Conclusion
This is often where you share your research with the world and reflect on your own practice. This will ultimately lead to new questions . . . and the cycle will continue again as you refine your craft as a better, more creative teacher.

the animation is sooo good learned a lot from them
This was the BEST EXAMPLE YET!!!!!! Thank You!
I’m on my way!~.
Great video..if you want to learn more about this, try this video from a professor that helped me a lot in developing a research framework.

Four phase research methods are very helpful.
Systematic step to understand easily
Very clear introduction of action research. I,ll share it to my students.
thank you so much, this helps me understand what is action research
Perfect explanation👌👌
Splendid presentation.
Mr. Spencer,
Your post is one of the shortest, easy-to-understand, and impactful videos I have viewed on YouTube.
Thank you!
ha the use of Data was great..
Very informative
The perfect introduction and overview of action research!

Thank you. This is just pure awesomeness.
Short and brief
Wow how do you make the video? Help me please
THANK YOU !!!! you explained in a better way than my teacher ! thank you so much!
Thank you Mister John Spencer
Thank you this is super super helpful!
This video is really helpful thanks for working on this topic. Can you please put up videos of applied and basic research as well.
What software do YouTubers like you use to make such videos?
It's fascinating but seems like a lot of hard work unless there's a software that does the legwork
It didn't explain where/how the students are involved which is where I'm confused at. Steps are like any other research. On to the next video/article for me.
Love your explanation
Super useful vid. Thanks
helal olsun good job thx helped e tru my essay
thank you so much
