Action research may also be called a cycle of action or cycle of inquiry, since it typically follows a predefined process that is repeated over time. Like:

Collect data on the problem
Organize, analyze, and interpret the data
Develop a plan to address the problem
Implement the plan
Evaluate the results of the actions taken
Identify a new problem
Repeat the process
