I am currently doing my own AR for the final year project and am particularly interested in the experiments carried out and the scope/limitations. Thank you.
I did action research as one of three methodologies in my PhD thesis, and the design was a triangulation of 1) action research in my own university (teaching teams covering 30-40 EFL classes), 2) institutional ethnography of an exemplary EFL program in Japan, and 3) an autoethnography of critical incidents and past classroom research of my career. Parts published in "Blending technologies in second language classrooms". If you need a copy, please email me.
Hi Gyorgyi, I have not included specific details about the teachers' action research projects in my thesis because a) I did not want to identify the teachers, whose work is published and freely accessible and b) I was more interested in the effects of action research on their general development and identities, than the specific knowledge they gained. For examples of action research projects, I recommend Cambridge Research Notes issues 44, 48, 53, 56, 60, 61, 64, 66, 67, 68, 69, 71, 74 (https://www.cambridgeenglish.org/research-notes/) - this is where reports of teacher action research from Australia and the UK are published.
Several results - concerning the topics you are interested in - are described in my publications. E.g. Topics of and benefits through practitioner research during teacher education etc.
Thanks for your answer. I looked at your papers, but I can't see actual topics/how they were carried out, which is what I am interested in. Do you have any links for those?
You can find a desription of the concept in “It’s worth it” practitioner research as a tool of professional learning: starting points, conclusions and benefits from the perspective of teacher-students. Single research projects of teacher students will be analyzed in future.
