Action Research
Action research is a reflective process of people working
together to solve problems, enhance knowledge, and improve practices. By working together in a collaborative
environment, groups and individuals can become more informed about the issues
that are being researched. Teams
interacting together can better educate those around them with best and worst
practices. Sharing the experiences of
each member will allow for greater learning through those experiences. By participating in groups, every angle of a
situation may be seen differently by different members of the group; therefore,
individuals of the group will be able to view things in a broader manner. This will allow individuals to think outside
their box and see things in a variety of ways.
This type of collaborative interaction will allow for better networking
through the educational community. Technological
skills will also be enhanced by integrating them into the process, allowing for
an easy mode of communication. Action research challenges individuals to be
prepared, by analyzing data and detailing a new course of action for growth. Simply, practitioners will be able to improve
by examining their own work and experiences.
Many times this requires change. By
using action research, individuals will be able to improve their own leadership
skills. Hopefully, by applying the knowledge gained through this process each
group member will have success in their role as an educator and become the
educational leader the field needs in the 21st century.
