Third, I found only a few articles that systematically set out the findings of the
action research they described, in a form which could be tested by other practitioners.
There was little attempt to explore the generalisability of any findings across
different contexts of action. Many articles consisted of case studies of action
research within a particular context. The assumption underpinning them seems to be
that action research, as the study of action in particular circumstances, cannot yield
universal insights that are useful for other practitioners to explore in their particular
contexts of action.
