Limitations of Action Research :

• Limited generalizability: Findings may not be applicable to other contexts due to the specific focus.
• Subjectivity: The researcher’s perspective can influence the research and interpretation of results.
• Time-consuming: The cyclical nature can be time-intensive, requiring ongoing evaluation and adaptation.
• Resistance to Change: Implementing changes based on action research findings may face opposition from stakeholders who prefer the current  situation or are doubtful of new approaches
• Lack of knowledge: Practitioners may lack the research skills or knowledge needed to conduct effective action research, affecting the quality of the results and outcomes.
• Ethical Considerations: It involves ethical concerns about authorized consent, confidentiality, and the possibility of unintended impacts from actions.
