Resumo: As a result of its greatly increased in popularity and range of application, action research has now become a loosely applied term for any kind of attempt to improve or investigate practice. In view of the confusion that frequently arises from this, the main aim of this author is to clarify the term. After a brief history of the method, the makes a case for regarding action research as one of a number of different forms of action inquiry which he briefly defines as any ongoing, systematic, empirically based attempt to improve practice. The author them discusses the role of theory in action research before describing what he sees as the distinguishing characteristics of the process. Next, a more detailed examination of the action research cycle is prefaced by an account of the way in which action research stands between routine practice and academic research. The author then moves on to discuss some common issues with the method, such participation, the role of reflection, the need for knowledge management, and the ethics of the process. The last part of the paper covers five different 'modes' of action research, and it concludes with an outline of the structure of an action research dissertation.

Como resultado do grande aumento de sua popularidade e da amplitude de sua aplicação, a pesquisa-ação tornou-se atualmente um termo aplicado de maneira vaga a qualquer tipo de tentativa de melhora ou de investigação da prática. Tendo em vista a confusão que daí advém freqüentemente, o principal objetivo deste autor é esclarecer o termo. Após breve história do método, ele defende que se encare a pesquisa-ação como uma das muitas diferentes formas de investigação-ação, a qual é por ele sucintamente definida como toda tentativa continuada, sistemática e empiricamente fundamentada de aprimorar a prática. A seguir, o autor discute o papel da teoria na pesquisa-ação antes de descrever o que considera características distintivas do processo. Segue-se um exame mais detalhado do ciclo da pesquisa-ação precedido por um relato do modo pelo qual esse tipo de pesquisa se situa entre a prática rotineira e a pesquisa acadêmica. O autor passa então a discutir algumas questões comuns relativas ao método, tais como a participação, o papel da reflexão, a necessidade de administração do conhecimento e a ética do processo. O artigo, em sua parte final, trata de cinco diferentes "modalidades" de pesquisa-ação e conclui com um esboço da estrutura de uma dissertação a partir de pesquisa-ação. Universidade de São Paulo.
