Abstract: Over the past two decades action research has once again grown in acceptance and visibility. Yet along with this has come great diversity in interpretations of the term, some involving minor contextual modifications, other signalling contradictory aims. Historical and recent developments both within and outside of the academy are analyzed for their tensions and dilemmas. Areas for further exploration are addressed, especially in professional development, pedagogical and curriculum reform, as well as articulation to wider efforts for social change. Developments in action research, it is argued, must consider issues emergent from a wide range of areas such as women's studies, community development, and management, if their potentials are to be realized.
