Abstract: Abstract This chapter addresses action research design’s peculiarities, characteristics, and significant fallacies. This research design is a change-oriented approach. Its central assumption is that complex social processes can best be studied by introducing change into these processes and observing their effects. The fundamental basis for action research is addressing organizational problems and their associated unsatisfactory conditions. Also, researchers find relevant information on how to write an action research paper and learn about typical methodologies used for this research design. The chapter closes by referring to overlapping and adjacent research designs.
