Themes within the scope of the study: the year in which the articles were published, the name of the magazine, the type of the magazine, the index in which it was scanned, the language of publication, the source; the number of authors, gender, nationality, profession, the role in research; the place in which it was done, the subject area, the subject; the research method, the type and cycle of action research; the level of sample, size and method; the application time, the method of data collection and analysis; the validity and reliability method, and the number of references. The data obtained in the study is interpreted on a percentage and frequency basis. The fact that action research in Turkey is a less-prefered type of research, mostly done by academics, and that there are very few teachers researchers is the remarkable results of the study. Furthermore, action research method, types, cycles, and the role of the researcher can be considered as another important result of the research in which more knowledge and experience should be acquired about the basic characteristics of action research, such as the type, cycle, and the role of the researcher. Finally, the study is expected to increase interest in action research and to contribute to researchers.
