  4. Action Research Good Teachers & Educational Leaders • Conduct their own investigations • To identify and solve problems • Analyze information about their classrooms and schools A Practical Guide to Action Research for Literacy Educators; Nugent, Malik, Hollingsworth; 2012, pg 1

  5. Action Research Good Teachers ask themselves: • Are my students learning? • Are my teaching methods effective? • What difference does my teaching make in developing the knowledge and skills of my students? Action research is a powerful method to help teachers know that their practices are having the desired results. A Practical Guide to Action Research for Literacy Educators; Nugent, Malik, Hollingsworth; 2012, pg 1

  6. Action Research Goals: • Create a positive change in everyday practice in one’s own classroom. • Encourage teachers to be continuous learners and proactive ‘actors’ in their own classrooms. • 2 Nephi 2:26 “….to act for themselves and not be acted upon.” • Incorporating reflecting into the daily teaching routine. Reflection: the willingness to critically examine one’s teaching in order to improve it. A Practical Guide to Action Research for Literacy Educators; Nugent, Malik, Hollingsworth; 2012, pg 1

  7. Action Research Helps teachers: • Link prior knowledge to new information. • Learn from experiences (even failures). • Ask questions and systematically find answers. A Practical Guide to Action Research for Literacy Educators; Nugent, Malik, Hollingsworth; 2012, pg 1

  9. Action Research A Brief History Kurt Lewin developed the idea in the 1940s. “to describe work that did not separate the investigation from the action needed to solve the problem.” Stephen Corey applied Lewin’s work to the educational setting. “We are convinced that the disposition to study…the consequences of our own teaching is more likely to change and improve our practices than is reading about what someone else has discovered of his teaching.” (Corey, 1953, pg. 70) A Practical Guide to Action Research for Literacy Educators; Nugent, Malik, Hollingsworth; 2012, pg4

  10. What is Action Research? “Learning by doing” “a individual or group of people identifying a problem, and doing something to resolve it, evaluating their efforts, and if not satisfied, trying again.” “If you think about what you are doing and make a change, you are doing action research.” Action Research is systematic and involves collecting data on which we analyze and reflect upon. A Practical Guide to Action Research for Literacy Educators; Nugent, Malik, Hollingsworth; 2012, p. 4-5

  11. What is Action Research? • “…gathering information about real, everyday issues in teaching and learning, and use that information to improve student learning and achievement.” • “… trying out and reflecting on ideas in practice as a means of improvement and as a means of increasing knowledge.” (Kemmiss and McTaggart, 1982) A Practical Guide to Action Research for Literacy Educators; Nugent, Malik, Hollingsworth; 2012, p. 5
