Abstract

Though the decisions are imposed by the policy makers, in a teaching context like Bangladesh; it is the teachers who deal with the actual classroom scenario. In spite of that the voice of the teachers is little heard. Action research can be an effective way to make their voices heard. The purpose of the present paper is to show the importance of action research in secondary school level and at the same time finding out how familiar our teachers are with it. Stating the problems, relating the significance and stating the objectives in the introduction, the study delves into a detailed review of the literature. Following the literature review is the actual study conducted. Through a qualitative, gradually turning into quantitative methodology the study reveals its findings. The study ends with some relative recommendations along with a concluding remark.
