| dc.description.abstract | The main purpose of this study was to explore the current status of action research undertaking among secondary schools teachers in North-Shoa Zone in Oromia. The study was conducted in seven government secondary schools selected on the basis of purposeful sampling technique. The subjects of the study were 140 teachers drawn from the sample schools proportionately using stratified random sampling technique, as well as 14 schools principals and 14 woredas education officers selected on purpose. Infonnation was solicited from the sample respondents through questionnaire, which was pilot-tested in one secondary school on 10 teachers and 2 principals. Based on the feedback obtained from pilot test, some modifications were made on about nine questions. Interviews were also held with 14 woredas education officials. Statistical tools such as chi-square test and percentages were used for data analysis. The findings of the study revealed that the knowledge and skills of teachers in conducting action research were not sufficient. Teachers remain uninvolved in the process of conducting action research. Moreover, acute shortage of resources (time, financial and material) was observed. Even though the existence of collaborative school culture is encouraging, it has to be developed more. On top of this, lack of action research skill, lack of time} lack of school management support, lack of cooperation among teachers} lack of incentives were also identified as hindrances of action research, undertaking. Therefore, iCwas argued that with appropriate support from concerned bodies and fulfilling necessary resources more teachers may become involved in action research activities and thus enable wider dissemination of their insights into children's learning. | en_US |
