Action research is research that is undertaken as a response to a recognised area of need. It’s usually takes place in the workplace (e.g. your setting, or your home if you’re a childminder) and involves reflection, open ended questions and challenging your own existing practices.
The Teaching Maths for Social Justice research project ran from June 2013 to July 2014 and involved a group of five teacher researchers, in four different London schools, and myself as university-based researcher. The aim of the project was to use a participatory action research model to develop teaching approaches and ideas which address issues of social justice in the secondary maths classroom.
Action Research is an international, interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal, which is a forum for the development of the theory and practice of action research. The aim of the journal is to offer a viable alternative to dominant 'disinterested' models of social science, one that is relevant to people in the conduct of their lives, their organizations and their communities.
The area of focus for my project is improving Reading Comprehension Through the Use of Higher Order Thinking Skill Activities. Without the solid foundation of reading skill the researcher feels the children will be struggle hard throughout their schooling and adult life. By learning the best comprehension strategies and how to best teach these strategies to the pupils, the researcher hopes to.

DM: What was the situation before you implemented your action research? MS: Okay, well we’re a Year 11 and 12 College and we have seven maths courses split across year 11 and 12. The Level 3 and 4 courses were going very well, but the Foundation course, completion rates were quite low and, for those that did complete, the pass rates were quite low.
Welcome to the second episode of our series on school-based action research, where we chat to teachers on the ground about the process of action research, and the impact that it has made on their school. Today, I’m with Nikki Urlich from Campbells Bay School in New Zealand. Three years ago, Nikki and her colleagues started a collaborative project called Modern Maths where, in an innovative.
