Abstract

This study aims to determine the degree of public school teachers’ skills regarding action research. The study sample included public school teachers from the Kalamazoo metropolitan area, US (n=20), and Tabuk, Saudi Arabia (n=30). The researchers adopted a descriptive approach to address the study’s open-ended questions; Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software was employed to analyze the data collected in this study. The results of the study showed that previously conducted action research played an important role in supporting qualitative educational research among Saudi Arabian teachers, contributing to the improvement of the teaching environment and helping teachers to solve students’ problems via action research.
