Hi teachers,
Good to see all of you yesterday.
What to do this month:
1. Read Gardner Chapter 3 and post your observations/comments/reflections to your blog.
2. Work on your Action Research Project. Here is a possible format you may use:
Introduction
• Description of the problem: Conceptual and theoretical base
• Domain of the project: the who/what/where/when
• Design of the project: what is your plan to fix the problem and how are you going to implement it.
• Methodology and process: here you explain exactly how you went about implementing your methods e.g. how you counted/interviewed/discussed/redesigned/etc.
• Results: your findings. This would be in narrative or tables, charts, graphs, etc.
• Analysis: so what do the findings tell us? What is your interpretation of the results?
• Conclusion and recommendations: NOW WHAT? How will you change your instruction? How does this inform instruction for the future? What can you tell educators? How are you going to build on this?
