Action Research in Science Education. ERIC Digest.

This digest provides an introduction to action research in science education and includes examples of how action research has been used to improve teaching and learning, as well as suggested resources for those seeking to incorporate action research into their own teaching or research. Action research is defined and is examined in science education, science teacher education, the study of science learning and science curriculum development and implementation.
