Extract
There is a growing body of literature of teachers’ accounts of their attempts to implement improvement and change in classrooms and schools. This literature is evidence that Australian teachers are thinking more reflectively and critically about their work than ever before.
This paper will attempt to define action research, and explore its characteristics and the epistemological and theoretical framework that has grown out of it.
