Abstract	This backward-looking reflection, which stems from experiences of an action research project with teachers, begins with an overview of current perspectives on action research in education settings. Significant details of the project are described to provide context for identification and discussion of the strengths and weaknesses relating to action research encountered by the author. Strengths include collegiality, dedicated time and space, facilitation and transparency and weaknesses discussed are issues of emancipation, the role of the researcher/facilitator, locus of power, data collection, professional development and teacher talk are discussed. The author attempts to orient both the methodology and the practical aspects of her action research experiences as a way to prepare for future research endeavors. (Contains 1 table.) (As Provided).
