Classroom Action Research (CAR)
Classroom Action Research is one form of the scholarship of teaching
If traditional research is designed to provide description and build theory, the goal of CAR is to improve the practice of teaching

uses secondary sourcesUses less formal procedures, which may
change during studyEstablishes validity through triangulation
(at least three types of data )Uses convenient measuresFocuses on practical, not statistical,
significance
