Action-Oriented Research

Action-Oriented Research is a practical approach that involves researchers working directly with people or communities to identify real problems, develop solutions, and implement changes. It combines studying an issue with actively taking steps to improve the situation. This method emphasizes collaboration, learning, and empowerment, aiming not just to understand something but to create meaningful, positive change. It’s often used in education, community development, and organizational settings to make research immediately relevant and actionable.
