In response to Papastephanou's thoughtful chapter I consider the skills one might require in order to undertaken action research as she presents it. I call upon both Aristotle and Heidegger in their use of dunamis to discuss potentiality, actuality and capability as key elements to an account of the role that action research might play in becoming, and not just being, a teacher.
