      abstract = {Teachers can enhance their classrooms and teaching-learning scenarios, stay up to date on instructional technology, and gain inspiration to become more effective teachers in the contemporary era by taking part in webinars and trainings. This study assessed 83 webinar participants' preparedness to carry out action research. The purpose of the study was to find out how prepared teachers were for conducting action research, to compare their level of preparation before and after the webinar, to ascertain the impact of the webinar on teachers' skills, and to find out how confident teachers felt about conducting action research alone or in collaboration with others. The majority of webinar participants were women (66 women, or 79.52%), with an average tenure in the teaching profession of 6 to 10 years (28 or 33.74%), and between the ages of 31 and 40 (36, or 43.37%). Based on survey results obtained following the webinar series, the majority of attending instructors reported an improvement in their comprehension of action research. In contrast to the survey results from prior to the webinar (2.14 or somewhat ready), 3.11 now indicated that they were ready to conduct action research following the webinar.},
