Action research is defined as a process for studying problems scientifically to improve current practices. It is conducted by practitioners, such as teachers, to solve immediate problems in their setting. The goals of action research are to improve conditions, develop scientific and democratic attitudes, and bring excellence to the school environment through constructive change. The steps of action research include identifying a problem, analyzing its causes, formulating a hypothesis, designing a test, and drawing a conclusion.
