They will understand the models of action research; the stages in the action research process; plan an action research: identify a topic, review the literature; develop the research: formulate research questions, design quantitative or qualitative, or mixed methods research; comply with the research ethics protocols; collect and analyse data; reflect upon the interpretation of the data and conclusion; and, based on the reflection, formulate a plan of action for the future. The students must understand the action research processes to write an action research proposal, stemming from a situation from their own classes or school; and they will carry out their proposal as an action research project in the following semester. The students are required to keep in mind that engaging in meaningful research henceforth in their professional careers is a must to enhance their educational practice and professional development.

Each candidate in the 2nd semester of the PGDIE program must carry out an action research project on a classroom-related issue. They will systematically apply the theoretical principles of action research learnt in the first semester of the program to a real classroom context. They will complete an Ethics Application Package for research compliance with human participants and submit to their research supervisors. After the supervisors approve the research topic, methodology, tools, the application, consent and assent forms, the candidates will approach the heads of institutions from where they propose to collect data and seek their permission to conduct research. After procuring permission from the parents on the consent forms and from the students on the Assent Form, the candidates will conduct the research. Candidates will collect and analyze the data, and present their research.
During the allotted online class, the candidates will meet with their research supervisors regularly to update them and to also seek feedback.
The course will enable the in-service teachers to:
●    Identify an area of focus around the teaching-learning process or environment
●    Comply with research ethics
●    Collect data
●    Analyze and interpret the data
●    Develop a plan of action
