What happened to action research? An analysis of publications in the principal Spanish journals of education

Abstract

In this article we present a review of articles on action research published in five prestigious Spanish education journals. We provide a summary of what was edited from three types of publications: 1) Reflection to the topic. 2) Research carried out. 3) Experiencies carried out. This análisis provides the International scientific community with a rigorously researched and contrasted view of the style of thought and action in the Spanish educational community regarding this theoretical-practical form of research.
