Lessons Learned From Week 2

Action Research

I learned from Dr. Briseno that we don’t have to ‘recreate the wheel’ or suffer unnecessary headaches struggling with a problem that has already been solved. Before we go into this process of struggling, we should first do some research and see if someone else has had this particular problem before us and discover what they did to solve it. I also learned from Dr. Chargois that research is not always about introducing a new project that we feel will work for a particular demographic student group. It can be used to discover how to teach our teachers to be more data driven. One more thing that I learned from Dr. Chargois is a simple way of creating an action research topic is stating the Effective vs. the Ineffective.
