Action research

The action research process is well established as an excellent approach to understanding and acting on issues in schools, including those concerning gender. Action research is a simple, effective tool for schools wanting to constantly improve their work on issues of their own choice.

Teachers, administrators, students and others can fully own and drive the action research process. Participants choose a focus, gather data, reflect on and share their findings, plan for action, carry it out, check their results, and plan for further action. This cycle of steps - act, observe, reflect, plan - supports ongoing improvement, validated by collecting and evaluating local data.
