Abstract
Action research is a method of systematically investigating classroom procedures and practices with an eye toward improving the quality of action in the schools. Teachers may use action research or practical inquiry in the course of their professional practice as a way of understanding teaching more fully, identifying and addressing classroom problems, extending their professionalism, and contributing to the field of education. This article provides background on, definitions of, and guidance for conducting action research. It also serves as a call for submitting to this journal reports from action research and practical inquiry for review and possible publication in JEG.Keywords
