Characteristics of Classroom Action Research
Keywords:
Classroom Action Research, Learning Characteristics, Collaborative LearningAbstract
Classroom Action Research (CAR) is a research approach designed to improve teaching practices through systematic reflection and action. This article explores the main characteristics of CAR, including its collaborative, reflective, data-driven nature, and structured research cycle. By involving teachers, peers, and students in the research process, CAR creates an inclusive learning environment that is responsive to student needs. The reflection process enables teachers to evaluate their teaching practices and make adjustments based on the collected data. The primary goal of CAR is to enhance the overall quality of learning. By gaining a deeper understanding of CAR characteristics, it is hoped that teachers can implement more effective and innovative teaching strategies.
