ABSTRACT

Action research is practical. Here is some advice on what to do and what not to do.

There can be a big difference between the scope of your work and the scope of your action research project. Even though the area may not be small, the study itself should focus on one aspect of the overall picture so that it is always clear what you are researching. Although, in a wide sense, work and practice are research, and research is practice, in a practical sense you need to see your project as an extrapolation from your wider work and keep it in perspective.
