In the Dana (2012) text, the 9 major wonderings or areas of interest were introduced.
They are:
1. Staff development
2 Curriculum development
3. Individual teacher(s)
4. Individual student(s)
5. School culture/community
6. Leadership
7. Management
8. School performance
9. Social Justice.
Each of these gave good examples of possible action
research projects. I found each to
be important topics and found myself starting with “This is the most important…”
because I thought they each were. I had a difficult time narrowing down my research project until after I read this chapter. I’m finding that keeping it simple will get me the best results in an
action research project. If I make
it too involved, or unrealistic, my project will be less than par.
So far, I have narrowed down my action research project to:
How can we get veteran teachers to use technology in the delivery of their lessons.
It is very interesting that you chose this action research project. It is one that I am also considering. Depending on what happens with my Site Supervisor, we may be helping each other out on this project. I see so many of the veteran teachers afraid to try the technology. It saddens me because they are terrific teachers, but they are loosing their students without the technology.
ReplyDeleteI actually narrowed my focus as well after reading the chapter. I realized I was trying to accomplish too much and probably would have not gotten the "buy-in" necessary to get the project done.
ReplyDeleteIt is difficult to narrow down your project when you already have a much bigger picture in mind. My site supervisor had to help me scale back my project as well but if all goes well I will be able to implement the rest of my plan in the 2014 fall semester.
