Document Summary
--data are any form of information, observation or facts that are collected or recorded. --action research is not just writing about what you think to be true, it is the information gathering and the making of conclusions based on the information gathered, that identifies it as a research process. --action research is systematic, that is it has a plan before the research begins, but it is also a dynamic process, the plan may be adapted as the study progresses (johnson 2009) --the method chosen and type of data collected is determined by the nature of the problem (each stage should be connected to the next in a natural progression) --can be qualitative or quantitative in approach , but qualitative methods more appropriately lend themselves to a. r. where understanding, rather than proving/disproving something is the focus. --these are many and varied, but tend to be: descriptive; narrative; can be non-written.
