Action Research is a form of scientific study which takes place during a process or an activity. It is mainly undertaken by practitioners or teachers for the purpose of analyzing and improving their own practices. Action research helps us resolving those problems which need urgent solution. Often these problems are local and relate to specific context. The results of Action Research are mainly used by the researcher itself, and they can’t be generalized for other populations. They are generally confined to the context in which the research is undertaken. Examples of action research can be seen in our educational institutions where teachers or educators are constantly trying to find solution of problems faced by them. These problems may either be instructional, academic , managerial, or organizational.
