Government College of Teacher Education organized a talk on "ACTION RESEARCH IN EDUCATION” on 11 July 2023 at 2.30 PM. Dr. Amit Ahuja was the resource person. He is an associate professor Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University, New Delhi. He explained action research in education simply and precisely. The talk included many thought-provoking ideas. At the end of the session there was a question - answer session also. The session was so informative and ended at 3.45 pm.
Action research is an approach to educational research that is commonly used by educational practitioners and professionals to examine, and ultimately improve, their pedagogy and practice. In this way, action research represents an extension of the reflection and critical self-reflection that an educator employs on a daily basis in their classroom. When students are actively engaged in learning, the classroom can be dynamic and uncertain, demanding the constant attention of the educator. Considering these demands, educators are often only able to engage in reflection that is fleeting, and for the purpose of accommodation, modification, or formative assessment. Action research offers one path to more deliberate, substantial, and critical reflection that can be documented and analyzed to improve an educator’s practice. The session was really beneficial for us.
