Journal Title: Journal of Special Education and Rehabilitation - Year 1999, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
The effort in this work to elaborate an action research method as a central research problem considering the recent contemporary sociological and educational literature. The author begins with the statement that the method is a complex notion, composed of three main components: approach to the research problem, data gathering procedures and data analysis procedures. This point of view is further applied and elaborated in the author's text, emphasizing the action research characteristics: interruption with the positive tradition in social research and the devided of the objective and subjective, application of the qualitative data. The substantial difference between the action research in regard with the other kinds of research, is not only in getting to new knowledge's, but also in problem solving or a change in the situation in a concrete social context.
