The article discusses the concept of teacher research, which is a type of qualitative research conducted by teachers or educational professionals in their own classrooms or schools. It emphasizes the need for teachers to have more authority and control over decision-making processes and curriculum development. The article also covers the history of teacher research, its general features, and the process of conducting action research in the classroom. It differentiates between educational research, academic research, teacher research, and action research. The importance of research in teaching and learning is highlighted, along with considerations for conducting research, such as ethical and methodological considerations.
