  3. What is Action Research? “Action research is a form of investigation designed for use by teachers to attempt to solve problems and improve professional practices in their own classrooms” (Parsons & Brown 2002)

  4. Common Myths

  5. Addressing the Myths

  6. I already know it works!

  7. Define “works” • For whom? For all your students? All classes? • When? • What if parents attack you on your method?

  8. You want me to do MORE?!

  9. Yep… • If you do… • Master’s degree • National Board Certified Teacher • Present at Conferences • Be a Rock Star with Administration

  13. Good Question! Teaching Research Literature

  14. Also… • Parental Attacks on your Curriculum • Parental Encouragement with your Curriculum

  15. Isn’t this just for the Ivory Tower?

  16. Mathematics Education is Changing • Keeping our jobs as professors has changed in Mathematics Education. • We can’t publish theories in Mathematics Education without practice and evidence. • My action research paper taught me to care.

  17. What can and can’t research do? • JameHiebert (1999) explained how research relates to NCTM Standards, and the same holds with CCSS.

  18. Research Cannot… • Determine standards for teaching. • Determine “best” teaching practices • Create new ideas • State whether CCSS is “good” or “bad” for teaching.

  19. Research Can… • Influence the nature of standards • Document current situations • Document effectiveness of new ideas • Suggest explanations for success and failure

  20. YOUR TURN(10 minutes)Think Pair Share:Your Research Question:_______________How would you figure this out?_________ How would you share your results?______

  21. Action Research Design • 5 Chapters • Introduction • Literature Review • Method • Results • Conclusion
