Sažetak

In this paper, it is assumed that practitioners at universities conduct research for different purposes. This study aimed to assess the extent to which a group of research professors conducted action research for professional development. Analysis of the results from questionnaires and interviews revealed that the participants conducted more research projects compared to action research ones, but the participants showed more optimism for conducting more action research projects that would contribute to raising educational standards in their country.
