The hypotheses of action research examined in this article are based on both Lewin’s theory and, due to the affinity between them, Gramsci’s ideas on in particular the role of school in the struggle for cultural hegemony. The carrying out of the research and its initial results support the validity of the theories referred to. What emerge are the contradictions in a situation of conflict and the possibility for school to be a place of collaboration as well as of conflict.

Keywords: Action research, Lewin, Gramsci, scholar disruption, arab-israeli schools.
