Action research bridges the gap between theory and practice through:
Direct observationStudy of a real
problem or situation.Acknowledgement of
teachers daily needs

Why is it that theories do not always help establish best practice?Often they do not
directly relate to classroom experience
May not meet daily needs/time constraints
Tends to focus on hypothetical situations
