Rethinking the Principles and Practice of Action Research: The tensions for the teacher-researcher

Abstract

This paper looks at the complexities in the role of a teacher engaged in action research into her role as maths coordinator. It explores some of the tension between thought and action as a teacher, and thought and action as a researcher, and looks at some of the consequences of these necessary tensions. This includes the need to explore further the principles and practice of action research. © 1994, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC. All rights reserved.
