4 Types of Classroom Action Research and Their Explanations (Complete)

4 Types of Classroom Action Research and Complete Explanations – The definition of classroom action research (CAR) has been discussed in the previous discussion, where Classroom action research can be carried out by anyone with an interest in improving the quality learning.

4 Types of Classroom Action Research and Their Explanations (Complete)

Let's discuss in full the types of classroom action research

Types of Classroom Action Research

There are four types of Classroom Action Research (CAR) that will be discussed, namely: diagnostic CAR; participant CAR; empirical CAR; and experimental CAR. For more details, the following briefly describes the four types of CAR.

1. Diagnostic Class Action Research

What is meant by diagnostic CAR is research designed by guiding researchers towards an action. In this case the researcher diagnoses and enters the situation contained in the research setting.

Example: if the researcher tries to deal with disputes, quarrels, problems or conflicts between students in the school or class. Researchers analyze and observe carefully through interactions with students in a school or class by looking for sources of existing problems and so on. Then analyze all the data and provide recommendations on the resolution of the conflict.

2. Participant Classroom Action Research

A class action research is said to be a participant if the person who will do or carry out The assessment must be directly involved in the research process from the beginning to the results of the research in the form of: report.

Thus, since research planning, researchers have been involved and then researchers monitor, record and collect data then analyze the data and end by reporting the results of his research. In this type of CAR, researchers are required to be involved directly and continuously from the beginning to the end of the research.

3. Empirical Classroom Action Research

What is meant by empirical CAR is when the researcher tries to carry out an action or action and discloses what was done and what happened during the action. In principle, the research process is concerned with keeping records and gathering the experiences of researchers in their daily work.

4. Experimental Classroom Action Research

This type of CAR has the greatest potential value in advancing scientific knowledge. What is categorized as experimental CAR is if the CAR is carried out by trying to apply various techniques or strategies effectively and efficiently in a learning activity teach.

In relation to teaching and learning activities, it is possible that there are more than one strategy or technique set to achieve an instructional goal. With the implementation of this CAR, it is hoped that researchers can determine which way is the most effective in achieving teaching goals.

That's a brief discussion about 4 Types of Classroom Action Research and Their Explanations (Complete), hopefully this information can add to the knowledge of all friends. That is all and thank you.
