Part of a special section on secondary science education. The writer advocates the expansion of action research at the K-12 level. Teachers and administrators seeking answers to classroom-based problems and issues can use action research, a systematic form of inquiry, for immediate results and practical applications. It can be carried out on a continual and ongoing basis, or it can focus on a specific, significant problem in the school. Action research tends to follow a five-step model of problem formulation, data collection, data analysis, reporting results, and action planning. It represents a powerful tool for improving the quality of teaching and learning within a school community and offers a solution to the problem of science education research failing to inform classroom practice.
