Action Research（アクション・リサーチ）
See action research project at NUFS!
Action research is a way of steadily improving your own teaching practices through an on-going process of reflection and experimentation. It is a reflective and active approach to a person’s own development as an increasingly skillful teacher. Action research consists of the following steps: 1) Input, 2) Planning, 3) Action, 4) Reflection, 5) Revision, 6) Repeat. The power of action research lies in its recursive nature. Repeating the cycle lets you build on previously gained insights and improvements, rather than lurching from one new idea to another. Action research also helps you to document the steps in improving your students’ learning. This documentation allows you to explain, and show the worth of, your research to colleagues and administrators in your own school. It also allows you to share your evolving insights and teaching practices with teaching colleagues elsewhere. This sharing results in the emergence of a community of teachers actively involved in ongoing development of their teaching practices.
