Action Research is showing possible progression through research. One of the goals is to improve teaching and learning for the people involved. It is very beneficial for administrators, teachers, and students to use an action research plan in the attempt to find a more rigorous learning curriculum. This attempt is beneficial for all stakeholders involved. The research will show if what is currently being done is valid. It will also show how to improve the learning system or try something else entirely. I think is would be a great system to implement in my school campus. I would need to teach the benefits of the action research to my staff. I would also need to show how it would make the learning environment one of a higher rigor. Rigorous learning is vital for the students that are in the classrooms. Without a rigorous learning environment not all students are learning to their maximum capacity. I would want to show that teaching in a rigorous manner and having the curriculum to uphold that standard could be found through an action research plan.
I would want to have all the teachers use a blog to get different ideas after using an action research plan in their class. After the teachers find what can be beneficial to them and incorporate that curriculum in their classroom, I would ask them to blog their finding. The information they have found can be beneficial for others. This system of helping each other is a great tool to access with one another. Using a blog is an easier way of communicating with each other when time is short.
Noel,
ReplyDeleteCommunicating with others when time is short is exactly what blogging is all about. I like your image because it gives an idea of what we are suppose to do and that is reflect or reflection.
