1. practicality: educational action research is a kind of research oriented to the actual situation of education, and its purpose is to solve the problems existing in educational practice and optimize educational practice. It is a pragmatic research method, which emphasizes the combination of theory and practice and takes solving practical problems as the core.
2. Instantaneity: Educational action research focuses on immediate feedback and adjustment of the current educational situation. Usually in the process of educational activities, problems are found, studied and solved in time. This instant research method enables the research results to be quickly applied to practice and has a direct impact on the current educational situation.
3. Reflection: Educational action research requires researchers to reflect and summarize educational practice. In the process of research, researchers need to think about their own behaviors, decisions and observed educational phenomena in order to better understand the problems, propose effective solutions and evaluate the research results. This kind of reflection is one of the core characteristics of educational action research.
4. Self-orientation: Educational action research emphasizes the researcher's self-orientation ability. Researchers need to have the ability to actively discover, analyze and solve problems, as well as the ability to reflect and summarize themselves. This self-directed ability is the basic requirement of educational action research for researchers, and it is also one of the important characteristics that distinguish it from other types of research.
5. Flexibility: The situational and immediate nature of educational action research requires it to be highly flexible. Researchers need to adjust research methods, research directions and presentation methods of research results according to the actual situation to adapt to different educational situations and needs. This flexibility enables educational action research to better adapt to the ever-changing educational environment.
6. Diversification: The methods and tools of educational action research can be adjusted and selected according to different educational situations and needs. It can be a comprehensive application of observation, interview, questionnaire, case analysis and other methods, and it can also collect and analyze data by means of modern information technology. This diversity makes educational action research more adaptable and effective.
Advantages of educational action research
1. Practicality: Educational action research is a practical and applied research method, which focuses on solving practical educational problems and is closely related to education and teaching practice. Through action research, teachers can constantly explore, try, reflect and improve in practice, thus improving the quality and effect of education and teaching.
2. Self-orientation: Educational action research is a self-oriented research method. Teachers are the main body of research. They can independently choose research topics, design research schemes and implement research processes according to their own educational and teaching needs and problems, and evaluate and reflect on their own and others' research results. This self-directed research method is helpful to improve teachers' autonomy and self-management ability.
3. Continuous improvement: Educational action research is a research method of continuous improvement, which emphasizes the continuous reflection, adjustment and improvement of education and teaching practice. Through action research, teachers can constantly find and solve problems in education and teaching, and constantly optimize the process of education and teaching, thus improving the quality and effect of education and teaching.
4. Teamwork: Educational action research usually requires teamwork, and different teachers can communicate with each other, share experiences and practices, and jointly explore ways to solve problems. This kind of teamwork is helpful to improve teachers' professional quality and overall education and teaching level.
