For me, this week it was very helpful to read about the nine
areas of passion described in the Dana text. The assigned reading provided lots
of insight into the many opportunities that we may encounter, as teachers
and/or administrators, which are conducive to action research. Also, listening to what the three school
leaders in the videos had to say about action research was of great help in
narrowing down what action research study to pursue. This, coupled with my
conversation with my principal, opened my eyes to the fact that my original action
research was too ambitious; it could have turned out to be an overwhelming
endeavor. Therefore, after reflecting on the assigned reading, videos, and
principal meeting, my action research was changed to - In what ways has the after-school program affected the student performance
in the TAKS test?
Reading the 9 areas of the Dana book has given us insight into the world of action research. The interviews were helpful as you stated selecting a research topic. I hope that your selection is something that you are passionate about. It caught my eye that you were doing your research on the ways that the after-school program has affected the student performance in the TAKS test? Good luck on your action research.
