Abstract
Action Research allows teachers to carry out their own classroom-based investigation. Numerous studies reported the action research conducted by teachers to improve their students’ academic performance. Focusing on finding out what the students knew about action research, this qualitative study had the the pre-service English teachers of the Teacher Profession Education Program or PPG Prajabatan at Faculty of Teacher Training and Education within Sriwijaya University, as the participants of study. A list of open-ended questions were given to the participants and their responses were analyzed qualitatively, yielding the following results: action research is about improving teachers’ teaching quality and conducting action research involves steps which can start with reflection as the starting point.
