 Stephen Kemmis has developed a simple model of the cyclical nature of the typical action research process. Each cycle has four steps 1. Plan 2. Act 3. Observe 4. Reflect

STEPHEN KEMMISS MODEL

ACTION RESEARCH
Action research tends to be... cyclic -- similar steps tend to recur, in a similar sequence; participative -- the clients and informants are involved as partners, or at least active participants, in the research process; qualitative -- it deals more often with language than with numbers; and reflective -- critical reflection upon the process and outcomes are important parts of each cycle.

 Action research requires the teacher reframes a problem by looking at in different contexts, from different perspectives as a part of larger system by making comparisons, by applying the problem to different groups.

 The cycle best known in Australia is probably that of Stephen Kemmis and his colleagues at Deakin University, the steps are:
plan --> act --> observe --> reflect ; then, in the light of this, plan for the next cycle.

The reflection leads on to the next stage of planning. The "planning" isn't a separate and prior step; it is embedded in the action and reflection. Short, multiple cycles allow greater rigour to be achieved.

The steps

1st phase
-planning
What to do? Does the problem related to your teaching? Whether or not your planning will benefit you and your pupils.

2nd phase
-action plan
Are you planning to introduce strategies, or new techniques? Are you planning to rearrange the technique that you are using in you teaching?

3rd phase -data collection

Considering the data collection technique and the data collection guidance.

4th phase -reflection - data analysis

Qualitatively and quantitatively

5th phase -replanning

Based on the data collected and analyzed, you might rearranged you teaching method.

6th phase
- action plan

Repeat 2nd phase Repeat 3rd phase Repeat 4th phase
