Action research is a really great
tool for an educator. With action research you can really get into the root of
a problem. For me, I really see action research benefitting me as an
administrator because it will allow me to look at scenarios from all different
angles. This is very important because from one problem sometimes more can
arise if all possible issues are not addressed. Using action research would
also be beneficial to those administrators and school districts that are
looking to analyze data. The effectiveness of programs that are being
implemented can be critiqued.
As
teachers, we use action research in our classrooms. We give our students an
exam or a quiz and we look at the scores. From these scores we can see what
information needs to be re-taught and what concepts our students have really
grasped. As an administrator, action research is used when state assessment
scores are received. They see the areas that need to be stronger; they can
begin to intervene to get to the heart of what isn’t working, and they can make
changes to ensure student success.
Overall, action research is a
phenomenal tool. You really look at the situation under a microscope and you
can come up with a whole collection of solutions to your problems.
