Action research has long been the research method used in education and in many organizations for the purpose
improving the art of teaching and leading. However, there are those that strongly criticize this research method.
Proponents of traditional research methods argue that the data that is collected in action research is not reliable and
does not yield valid results in part, because of possible research bias (Mckay & Marshall, 2001). Initial Post: Read the
articles from Fitchman-Dana (n.d) and Eikeland (2003) and explain in your post how action research will benefit your
setting/organization by granting teachers and other leaders the ability to identify and solve their own problems. Consider,
too, the arguments opposing the use of action research as a validated research methodology. The second article is a
controversial narrative where the author responds to a previous writing which has highlighted the reasons that action
research is not a viable research method. Post your summary of the importance of action research as depicted in these
articles and what points resonate during the implementation of your research. ? Eikeland, O. (2003). Unmet challenges
and unfulfilled promises in action research. Concepts & Transformation, 8(3), 265-273. Retrieved from EBSCOhost

http://www.aasa.org/content.aspx?id=12826 Guided Response: Respond to at least two peers. In your responses,
consider asking questions of your peers about their responses to encourage further conversation. Responses will be
most effective if they ask a question about your peer?s experiences and the benefits of your action research project.
Your responses may offer additional resource for consideration that supports an alternative viewpoint and critical
thinking skills. Again, though two responses is the basic expectation, for deeper engagement and learning, you are
encouraged to provide responses to any comments or questions others have given to you including the instructor to
further the conversation while also giving you opportunities to demonstrate your content expertise, critical thinking, and
real world experiences with this topic.
