   Abstract:
   The purpose of this account is to investigate action research as a tool to facilitate reflective practice in undergraduate preservice teachers. Typically utilized in graduate programs, action research is a viable tool for increasing preservice teachers’ systematic, classroom- based inquiry. This process is examined through a theoretical framework of narrative inquiry and utilizes a participatory design as the basis of inquiry. In this design both instructor and student are empowered to share their interpretations of the process of action research. The findings stem from a merging of the experiences of both instructor and student, and include recommendations for using action research with undergraduate preservice teachers, as well as suggestions for further consideration of the process.
