This document discusses using action research to improve education. It poses questions about how practice-based research can contribute to innovative learning and be organized to promote innovation. The goals are to learn how action research can aid school development and to discuss theories of action. A research project involved 10 schools conducting meetings, designing practices, studying, and presenting results over a school year. Doing research means formulating collective questions based on stakeholder input. Teachers and students can both be researchers using an inquiry cycle to develop knowledge and skills. Evaluating involves reflecting on student and teacher development outcomes. A culture of inquiry connects research to policies and spreads results.
