My greatest insight over the past five weeks was the process
of action research as a whole. While I knew that campus leaders had a method to
making decisions, I never dreamed there would be a whole genre of research that
one could use. I was oblivious that there were different methods available when
researching education related topics. Action research is a platform that campus
leaders can use to make sure they are making data driven decisions. In my
opinion, action research helps to provide data needed when implementing change.
I would like to know more information about analyzing the
change after it has been implemented.
I would like more information about analysis once the research is done
and the campus leader has instituted a change. I was wondering if one should
start a new action research or if the research for the topic can be
on-going. I also wanted to know
what a action researcher should do if change is instituted and the results do
not correlate with researchers predictions and data.
I plan to build on my applied knowledge in this area by
continuing to discuss action research with my intern supervisor, and other
campus leaders that I know. I also plan to continue reading books and research
that specialize in the topic of educational action research.
I plan to continue to update this blog, so please check back often as I complete this program. I am excited about my next class, and the future!
