Action Research

This week (Week 2) I have learned about the different topics that are very important when it comes to action research and the cycle it goes through to make sure that every point was covered top to bottom. In order to complete this you have to follow these 5 steps:


1. Identification of problem area

2. Collection and organization of data

3. Interpretation of data

4. Action based on data

5. Reflection

This is just some basic points that teachers and principals have to follow coming up with different examples of action research that will not only assist and help them but assist and help the students as well:


• Teachers and principals work best on problems they have identified for themselves

• Teachers and principals become more effective when encouraged to examine and assess their own work and then consider ways of working differently

• Teachers and principals help each other by working collaboratively

• Working with colleagues helps teachers and principals in their professional development
