Action Research is research designed to Viewpoints take action and bring about change. Rather than creating a catalogue of work that 2008 makes recommendations to distant practitioners, Action Research calls upon the practitioners themselves to use a systematic review of data to improve outcomes The Journal directly. In this way, Action Research is unique, as successful Action Research of NJPSA “associates research and practice, so research informs practice and practice informs research synergistically” (Avison, Lau, Myers, & Nielsen, 1999, p. 94). Educational Viewpoints At the heart of Action Research is the principle that individuals work more © Copyright 2008 effectively on issues they identify themselves and in those areas where they New Jersey Principals and Supervisors have some measure of direct impact upon outcomes. It is because Action Association Research relies upon the direct involvement of the researcher in the question at hand that Action Research can bring about such powerful change (Kidd & Kral, 2005, p. 188). It is for that reason that Action Research calls upon practitioners to research their own work. New Jersey Principals and Every educator has the means to become an Action Researcher. “Action Supervisors Association Research is a process of posing a question, collecting information, and using 12 Centre Drive that information to answer the question” (Anderson, O’Connor, & Greene, Monroe Township, NJ 08831 2006, p. 16). Rather than calling on already busy practitioners to add a new Tel: 609-860-1200 job to their task lists, Action Research is embedded within the job experience. Fax: 609-860-2999 This means that the structured practice of Action Research not only provides a Web: www.njpsa.org means to improving the researchers individual practice, but also provides peers Email: [email protected] with a wealth of information that has been tested in real world settings and been shown to be an effective method to bring about positive change. “Action Research is most valuable when conducted over time, findings are NJPSA Executive Director compared from year to year and group to group, and the teacher researcher JoAnn D. Bartoletti matures in his or her abilities to remove minor findings and eventually focus Managing Editor on those that are truly meaningful for effective local change and better Erica Fineman-Bertoli achievement by both the teachers and the students” (Callison, 2007, p. 42). Initiated in the 1940’s as a means to identify workflow issues and improve Graphic Designer real world outcomes, Action Research has become a tool for practitioners in Gina DeVito all areas of social science, allowing greater flexibility than more traditional Copy Editor research techniques, which hold the researcher apart from the subject being Carmen DePresco studied. Action Research entered the field of education in the 1950’s as educators sought a practical, data driven way to improve classroom outcomes NJ EXCEL Liaison (Hammersley, 2004, p. 166). Linda Batz Effective Action Research allows the researcher to not only draw conclusions, but also test these conclusions in real world settings to determine the most effective mechanism for change. As such, it is incumbent upon the professional community to share findings and to work collaboratively to ensure that the positive change brought resulting from Action Research becomes a professional trend rather than an isolated success. Within this issue of Educational Viewpoints, you will find eight examples of Action Research that have not only produced tangible success, but more importantly, that were conducted by principals and supervisors from across New Jersey. As you discover their work, take this opportunity to awaken your own internal Action Researcher. By looking at the professional practice of education through the lens of Action Research, the opportunities for positive change are limited only by your imagination.
