Reflection and discussion with core researcher or others include the need to demonstrate reflection on the research into order to consider important factors the may affect outcomes
Making a change in a situation over time - change leading to improvement with quality data and analysis resulting in dissemination of knowledge. Making change is important in action research and is implied in its name, action (change) and research

The essential characteristics of action research require that the researcher work within the group to understand or improve a situation identified by the group using systematic, analytical, and reflective techniques to gather data that lead to the development of an action plan for solving the problem based on the information gathered and in collaboration with those in the group (Hinchey, 2008)
Two perspectives : insider (emic)& outsider (etic) views. Insiders are living the problem and have a unique understanding of it. Outsider *the researcher), is the person who comes to the situation with the intention to assist those involved but who usually is unable to internalize the situation becoz he or she doesn't live it
