After action is implemented, the effects of that action should be evaluated. This is what
contributes to the cyclical nature of this work as the results of the evaluation may lead to
another cycle of “look,” “think,” and “act.” Pretend that your study has been successful and
that your action plan has been implemented. How would you evaluate its success and at
what point might that evaluation occur?

Stringer and Aragon (2021) provided a list of considerations when entering the “act”
phase of an action research study that include:
● Why? What are the larger goals you trying to achieve?
● What? What is the objective of the research?
● How? What tasks need to occur for action to happen?
● Who? What people need to be involved?
● When? How soon after the research is completed can action occur? What is the
timeline?
● Where? What is the location where the action will occur?
● Resources? What will be needed to implement action?
● Funds? What type of funding will be necessary to implement the action?
Once again, reflect on the study you are proposing and project the action that will result
using these questions as a guide.
