Second discussion/blog posting

The discussion for this module requires that you share the final version of your research question and some thoughts about how you might set your project up to conduct your research. You are invited to ask design questions and process questions of your peers and instructor, and share some of your ideas as everyone starts putting a project together.

Discussion One Introductions

Module One Discussion Posting

This is a two part discussion.  Part one of the first discussion asks you to introduce yourself to the class. Your posting should include information that will provide the class with your professional profile - such as your major/specialization, where you live, where you work, some of the ideas you have about possible topics for your research project, and some of the questions you have about your teaching, your school, your students, etc. Remember, you should respond to at least one of your colleagues; of course, you are encouraged to participate beyond this minimum requirement.

In the second part of discussion one you are asked to share the highlights of the readings for this first module. Respond in detail to at least two of the following questions as you read the text and explore the resource websites:

1.What new insights do you have regarding action research that you think would be valuable to other professionals?

2.How you might use action research to improve some aspect of your work or practice?

3.What problem or student learning need will your project address - why is this an important focus for your project?
