From the past duration, every related work unit supported and enhanced for teacher development in
conducting classroom action research very much. However, teachers still faced various problems in conducting
classroom action research including: their research studies weren’t relevant to problem situation occurred with
students at that time. As a result, the findings couldn’t be applied for solving the classroom problem, the fear of
technique in conducting research, the teachers were likely to believe that the research studies weren’t in their
boundary to perform, time limitation in conducting research, anxiety in the research topics which might be sensitive
to the parents or related persons’ feeling, and they were not supported by their administrators etc (Sardo-Brown,
Welsh & Bolton, 1995; cited in Suwimon Wongwanich, 209: 4) . Besides, the process of teacher development in
classroom action research in the past, the knowledge of research as academic research was emphasized by putting
knowledge as a formal research process. So, the teachers who used formal research for conducting research in their
own research problems. Consequently, there were many problems. Therefore, their research studies had no
development or progress as it should be owing to 6 reasons. First, the teachers’ knowledge obtained from training,
wasn’t sufficient for conducting formal research by themselves. As a result, they couldn’t finish their research
study. So, they were discouraged to conduct research. And that caused by the negative attitude towards conducting
research. Second, formal research had to be based on process in reviewing various related documents very much in
order to include sound conceptual framework as well as reasonable research design. But, the teachers had time
limitation. So, they couldn’t study document completely. Consequently, they employed or asked others to conduct
research for them instead. It affected seriously on many consequences such as the teachers didn’t learn from self
studying. What the obtained were not from their real practice. It was performed only to be finished according to
formal research form as it needed to be. The teachers as researchers didn’t practice their own role and function of
researchers as it should be. Third, it was an effect from difficulty in research process. When teachers finished
research study, they stopped conducting research by obtaining only one research study. They didn’t have motive to
conduct research continuously. Therefore, the research was too specific work conducted for creating the academic
dossier to be on promotion. In this sense, research studies were not useful for the instructional development as they
should be. Fourth, teachers’ determined problems to be used in the studies were problems in which teachers
imitated from academics.’ They were not problems occurred from their own classroom situation. Their research
findings provided answers which couldn’t be used for improving or solving the classroom problems. Fifth, teachers’
research studies in former time were time consuming in implementation. The findings couldn’t be used in time
since the instructional problems were in the past, or the students needed to be corrected didn’t study in that class any
more. Sixth, to conduct research needed to be trained and learn from experts which required to be practiced under
control of mentors who understood research methodology regularly. But, later time, there were no mentors,
experienced and skilful persons in conducting research truly. (Suwimon Wongwanich, 2009: 5-6)
