Resum	Critical curriculum analysis examines educational curricula — their content, organisation, and underlying assumptions — through a critical theory lens. Drawing on the work of Apple, Giroux, and Freire, it asks whose knowledge counts, whose interests the curriculum serves, and how schooling reproduces or challenges social inequalities. Rather than treating curriculum as neutral, it treats it as an ideologically saturated artifact shaped by relations of power, race, class, and gender.	Educational action research is a cyclical, practitioner-led inquiry method in which educators systematically investigate a problem or opportunity in their own classroom or school, implement a change, observe its effects, and reflect on findings to guide the next cycle. Rooted in Kurt Lewin's action research framework and developed for educational contexts by Lawrence Stenhouse and John Elliott, it bridges the gap between educational theory and classroom practice by making teachers agents of rigorous inquiry.
