ACTION RESEARCH

Action research is carried out to improve current educational practices, while fundamental research is usually undertaken to confirm broad generalizations of the principles of educational practice (Chai Hon Chan 1970:23)

Action research is conducted by teachers on-the-job to sharpen their professional competence by constantly evaluating their own teaching methods and applying research findings to their own conditions, while fundamental research is usually undertaken by “outside” specialist who are not directly involved with the working conditions. (ibid)



Action research proceeds on the belief that practising teachers are more likely to learn from their own experimentation and evaluation than if research findings, no matter how valid, are proffered them by “outsiders”. Fundamental research functions on the assumption that the dissemination of research results is an effective and efficient way of improving educational practices. (ibid)
