Introduction or Summary of the Paper (2 page maximum)
- What did you do?
- What did your students do?
- Description of the FS.
Learning Theories
- What are the different learning theories and how are they related to your FS?
FS Q’s (Procedures) (this is basically your proposal you gave me at the end of the first week of July)
- context
- setting
- strategies
- vision
Observations and Data
- What are the different types of observation? What are their limitations and advantages? video, observations, journal, photo, etc
- Explain why you choose your mode of data collection
Give references
- How does one be objective?
- list ways you have collected evidence showing your learning and the impact of your inquiry on yourself and others (students)
Interpretation of the Data
- Look at the tables, figures, and general information in the Data and Observation section. What did your data show?
- How, what does it mean?
- Does your data support what you wanted to measure
- Is it credible? Dependable?
- Did you use triangulation?
- Discuss the specific data that led you to decide that the purpose was accomplished. Describe the logic that you used to reach these conclusions by listing the data, including actual information you recorded during the experiment, which support your outcome.
- List any weaknesses, problems and difficulties you discovered in your field study design. Tell the reader how these problems may have affected the results
Readings with links
- You need at least 10
- this takes a long time to find good articles…so start right now
- USA vs Canada
- elementary vs secondary
- What do your readings say about your learning theories?
- did the use of technology change your learning theory?
- This should be reference throughout your paper
Your Reflections
- this is the largest part. the "SO WHAT"
- and the most important part
- how did your learning change?
- How did your teaching change
- How has your role as an educator changed?
- I use to do…now I
- What did you discover in this process of Action Research?
- What do you know about today’s student on how they learn, think and act differently from 5 years ago?
- Self-assessment of yourself.
- Where are you going next? i.e. your next FS
- Based on your results, suggest an additional questions that could be investigated, to improve the quality of the conclusion presented. For example, if your data was not sufficient, you might recommend a different form of data collection or analysis to see if it gives you better insights into your inquiry question. If your findings don't match what you find in the readings that's ok, you might state why you think this is so for your context.
- Did you gain a better understanding of your student’s perspectives on learning, motivation, etc?
