Abstract
The main purpose of this study was to assess the practices and challenges of mathematics teachers in conducing Action research in Governmental Secondary Schools of Addis Ababa city Administration.

The finding from data analysis revealed that the support given to governmental secondary school mathematics teachers practice training in action research was low, the supports provided to secondary school mathematics teachers even after they started practicing action research was found very law. The follow up system was also very poor. Furthermore Governmental Secondary School mathematics teachers Action research was varied from school to school and the major challenges of secondary school mathematics teachers in conducting action research were getting support on the scientific methods of conducting action research and continuous follow up from experienced sub-city level supervisors or experts on the basis of these findings, it is recommended that continuous training and support to school teachers is necessary to tackle the challenges of secondary school mathematics teachers.
