Action Research

Starting Action Research

 

Why participate in Action Research?


Traditional classroom research generally does not assist individual teachers in improving their practice. However, teachers engaged in Action Research-looking closely at their classrooms, reflecting on their practice, developing their own questions, strategies and interventions-create an environment of renewal and improvement. This environment empowers participants and creates a positive school climate with teaching and learning at the core. Also, a link has been shown between classroom research and refined professional judgment. Teachers who engage in Action Research tend to be more willing to self-assess and reflect on their practice and actions in order to improve their teaching. The process also allows teachers to model being reflective and proactive in addressing classroom issues and concerns.
