Sagor, R. (1992). How to Conduct Collaborative Action Research.

"Our experience has shown that teachers who rush to complete the problem formulation stage are more likely to flounder in their later efforts, whereas teachers who take time to reflect on and define their problem are more likely to pursue questions yielding meaningful results" (p.12).

"Placing teachers’ instructional concerns right up front will clearly establish that the collaborative action research process is for the teachers’ benefit" (p. 13).

"It is also common for action researchers to have already begun to develop some ideas for attacking the identified problem" (p. 16).
