Abstract

Conventionally, the quantitative research approach is believed to be used in natural science to experiment with phenomena and test theories and hypothesis. However, it has been practiced by researchers in social science and education at present. The study aims to critically analyze the philosophical stances of quantitative research and to explore the uses and limitations of quantitative research methods in education. I used document analysis as a research method where I collected previously published books, journal articles, and book chapters in the related field, read them, explored the required information from the materials, analyzed them critically, and made the arguments in different themes. The study revealed that quantitative research is based on the positivist paradigm which believes in objectivity, and experimental reality. It further showed that quantitative research is significant in the field of education to test the methods, and teaching-learning theories, to see the cause-and-effect relationship, and to see the causal relationship between the variables. Moreover, it shows that quantitative research is significant to explore the results that can be generalized in a large population. Additionally, the study explored that quantitative research has several issues such as negligence on educational complexities, sampling bias, issues of validity, and generalizability, and ethical issues related to consent, confidentiality, anonymity, sampling, data collection, interpretation, and reporting. It suggests that researchers in education should incorporate the qualitative method and mixed-method research to address diversity, emotion, experience, and multiple realities.

Abstract

In light of evolving pedagogical frameworks and increasing challenges in English Language Teaching (ELT), effective professional development is essential for teachers striving to enhance their practices. Action research is a pivotal strategy for teachers' professional development, fostering an adaptive learning environment through reflective pedagogy. While teachers have implemented action research, its engagement among secondary-level English language teachers remains underexplored, particularly regarding their knowledge, use, and perceptions of its role in professional growth. The study aimed to identify secondary-level English language teachers’ knowledge, use, and perceived effectiveness of action research as a tool for professional development. The research employed a quantitative survey approach, focusing on English language teachers in private and public schools in Nepal, with a particular emphasis on those in the Sunsari district. A sample of 200 teachers was selected using a simple random sampling strategy, and a structured questionnaire was administered online via Google Forms. The collected data were analyzed using a bivariate analysis approach with SPSS. A chi-square test was conducted to assess the association between the variables, while Phi was employed to determine the significance of these relationships. The study examined the association between independent variables (such as sex, level of teaching, type of school, and academic qualification) and dependent variables (including use of action research, knowledge of action research, and perceived effectiveness of action research). The findings indicated no significant statistical association between the independent and dependent variables. However, the study concluded that the majority of teachers perceived action research as valuable for problem-solving, increasing professional confidence, promoting career advancement, fostering transformative agency, and enhancing teacher collaboration. It suggests that teachers could benefit from more effectively integrating action research into their teaching practices for professional development and transformation.
