Abstrak
Kajian ini bertujuan untuk meneroka pandangan guru sekolah terhadap pelaksanaan kajian tindakan di sekolah serta kesannya terhadap kualiti pengajaran dan pembelajaran. Pendekatan kualitatif digunakan, dan data dikumpulkan melalui temu bual separa berstruktur terhadap empat orang guru sekolah. Hasil analisis tematik mendapati bahawa latihan berterusan, bimbingan profesional, dan sokongan pengurusan sekolah merupakan dimensi utama dalam melaksanakan kajian tindakan. Justeru, kajian ini mencadangkan agar dimensi-dimensi ini dijadikan sebagai panduan dalam meningkatkan pelibatan guru dalam kajian tindakan.
