The three interviews we watched during week two gave me insight into the importance of action inquiry and how they may benefit both the students and myself. I have tried to apply their wisdom to my own research plan to ensure I will learn from the inquiry and students may show success in their learning.
Both textbooks had an abundance of information regarding action research and the steps to affect change on campus. From Mrs. Dana, I have come to understand the meaning of action inquiry and how it helps one to grow professionally.
I had never previously sat down to consider how some of the things that are seen by teachers on a daily basis could affect the campus as a whole and also the community. As I worked on the assignment, I was able to reflect on my current campus and identify several areas that require additional attention.
I am glad that you mentioned that by doing action research you can grow professionally. I mentioned action research to my principal the other day and she just smiled at me. She also believes that you grow professionally through research.
ReplyDeleteI have also started looking at my school and district in a different way after starting this class. I see a lot of things differently than I did in August of last year. Good luck with your research.
