The study aimed to determine the potential of action researches designed by art education candidate students in the partner schools during the field experiences in order to detect the impact of the candidate students' implementations of the potential of action researches on their pupils’ performance in the field experiences. The study also aimed to measuring the attitudes of candidates and pupils towards the applications of action researches and their roles in enriching thinking and knowledge of contemporary art education practices. These objectives were associated with the standards of the Council for Accreditation of Educators Preparation (CAEP) and its focus on the impact of the teacher preparation program on student learning and development at schools. For this purpose, the researchers designed two research instruments in order to measure the candidate’s attitude towards the implementations of the potential of action research during the school based field experience. The first research instrument consisted of (40) items distributed on four main clusters and the second instrument was a questionnaire, which consisted of (26) items for measuring the pupils' attitude towards the applications of action research and its impact on their level of understanding. This research was implemented on a sample, which consisted of (27) male and female candidates, as well as a sample, which consisted of (438) pupils distributed over (15) schools in the Muscat Governorate, Sultanate of Oman. The most important results of the study revealed several aspects of action research implementation to develop different teaching and learning strategies in the disciplines of art education.
