摘要

This course package aims to provide students with the basic knowledge of [class] action research (CAR). The study of [class] action research in this course will emphasize on 1) the definition of [class] action research, 2) the characteristics of [class] action research, 3) the history of [class] action research, 4) the types of [class] action research, 5) the models of [class] action research, and 6) the application of [class] action research. This course package might have a role to play in order to scientifically resolve some issues or problems emerging in the classroom during teaching practice. Within the lecture of [class] action research, the students will analyse the definition of [class] action research from varied sources. They are also required to do mind mapping dealing with the characteristics of [class] action research, in what way [class] action research differs from other formal research. There is a need for students to know [class] action research within the historical perspective as well as the challenges and critiques from some formal research scholars. In the next step the students will also be exposed to the different types of [class] action research in which a teacher or a group can carry out. Indeed, models of [class] action research which are considered as an important part in this research are introduced briefly. At the end of the lecture the students are encouraged to work on the application of [class] action research. In this section the students have opportunities to know deeper the cycle of [class] action research which includes 1) plan [planning the action], 2) action [putting the plan into the action], 3) observation [observing the results of the plan], and 4) reflection [reflecting and planning for the further action].
