Abstract:
Action research is a cyclical process of plan, act, reflect and learn, and adapt the planned activities to enhance the final outcome of what we endeavour to achieve. The process involves reflection and capitalising on the communities of practice that grow in a project environment. Although not all people involved in these projects take on the practices of action research, many see it as adding value to the way they work and long after a project has been completed, people are still practicing the principles of reflection, deliberately learning from our experiences and developing communities of practice to enhance our work. AR becomes a part of who we are and many of us can't help passing it on to others.
