The study aimed to reveal to differences in the application of early childhood teachers' action research skills in Al-Madinah Al-Munawarah using a descriptive-analytical approach. The study tool consisted of an electronic questionnaire. The study population included 439 kindergarten teachers in government early childhood schools in Al-Madinah Al-Munawarah. A simple random sample of 206 teachers was drawn. Data was collected and analyzed descriptively and quantitatively using frequencies, percentages, means, standard deviations, and statistical tests. The study showed several results, the most important of which are: differences – with statistical significance- in teachers' responses in the application of action research skills attributed to variables such as the academic qualification, with teachers holding higher degrees showing higher proficiency, and training courses, with teachers who attended the action research course demonstrating better application. Furthermore, there were no statistically significant differences at a significance level of 0.05 or less in the overall application of procedural research skills attributed to the variable of experience. Based on the results, the study recommends intensifying training courses as they have a clear role in improving the application of action research skills and incorporating the idea of action research as part of the academic plans for early childhood specialization.
