What I have learned about action research
It is known that our society has been molded or built upon based
on research that has been conducted.
Whether it is research based on money, schooling, social status, race,
etc. There is always research that needs
to be done on a specific topic before arriving to a conclusion. I have always wondered what type of research has
been conducted.
I have learned so much about action research. To me, it has been such a powerful tool that
brings certain individuals to work collaboratively. As an educator and prospective administrator,
I feel confident that the action research that I conduct will benefit all
stakeholders involved. This type of
research is so valuable since it is an ongoing process that can be utilized
effectively by everyone. As educators,
we are bombarded with a variety of external research that has to do with
students, effective instruction, etc.
There is benefit from external research but what a better way to learn
about certain things ourselves in conducting action research. Teachers and administrators are working
collaboratively by constantly questioning, reflecting, analyzing, and problem
solving to modify and find solutions.
There is no doubt that action research will bring administrators and
educators close together by working collaboratively and effectively. This will be a must at my campus as a current
educator and prospective administrator.
