EDU 438: Classroom Management (Early Childhood): Action Research

The North Central Regional Educational Laboratory defines action research as:

"...inquiry or research in the context of focused efforts to improve the quality of an organization and its performance. It typically is designed and conducted by practitioners who analyze the data to improve their own practice. Action research can be done by individuals or by teams of colleagues. The team approach is called collaborative inquiry."
