Identify two common criticisms of action research and provide statements to refute these criticisms.
What will be an ideal response?
a. Criticism 1: action research is not methodologically rigorous. Refutation: action research relies on the same qualitative and/or quantitative research methodologies as traditional research.
b. Criticism 2: action research is too tightly linked to everyday practice and not concerned with generation of new knowledge or theories. Refutation: action research allows practitioner-scholars to closely examine their own practice or practices within their organizations, which can lead not only to improved practice but to new knowledge that will inform others as they seek to improve their practices.
