Smith Rebolledo (2018). handbook for Exploratory AR (1)

Let’s look at a few ways that this might happen:
1. Your initial Exploratory Action Research (EAR) only 
partially answers your question, but it tells you where 
you need to look to find a more complete answer. 
2. Analysing the data from your initial EAR reveals 
something you didn’t expect, or can’t explain.
3. The answers you get are general, and you want
more specific answers, so you develop more
detailed research questions.
4. The feedback you receive after sharing your findings 
provides you with new ideas that you want to try out.
5. Sharing your findings leads to an opportunity to 
collaborate with someone else on a new research 
project.
For example, Leyla, whom we met at the end of Chapter 
One, writes to us now (four years after her original project) 
that she has since used Exploratory Action Research in 
several new ways: 
“I headed an EAR project on gender education in the 
frame of a British Council ARAS award. Also, I was 
involved in an international project, in which thirteen 
teachers from different corners conducted action 
research. Nowadays, I am starting my own EAR on 
developing strategies to scaffold special needs
students who had been exempted for years and now
they have to form part of the class because of the
new law of inclusion in education.”
Remember that, just as with the first project we have 
guided you through in this book, you can decide whether 
you just want to explore a situation, in order to understand 
it more, or whether you want to try a new intervention in 
order to change it. You can also decide on when you want 
to do this; perhaps you want to take a break first! As always, 
it’s up to you.
