This website has been developed to explain the role of the action researcher and for visual learners like myself, who need a visual view of what a written action plan would look along with the procedures. According to Tom Russell (1999), a faculty member of education at Queen’s University, action research describes professionals who study their profession to improve upon it.

When used by educators it involves gathering and interpreting data collected to understand a factor of teaching that concerns us. Action research allows teachers to determine their teaching methods instead of relying on others through literature or other experts.

Setup a timeline, when will I collect my dtat and what strategies can I use to obtain my data to help me respond to my question.

Tere (2006) suggests the following before one begins collecting the data. Begin to think of the data needed at the beginning of the process. Assess how valuable it is. Interpret the data so that I can understand it and others can understand it. Finally, start my analysis. Note: Because selective mutism has just started to be noticed by researchers, my subject has minimal information in books, articles, and research studies; therefore, I found that my best information started with sites such as Shipon-Blum’s Selective Mutism Association or Selective Mutism Research Institute or Selective Mutism Foundation because they work with selectively mute children. Furthermore, the site refers the reader to other credible sites on selective …show more content…

Finally, start the process of analyzing my data
As an example, my action research project will analyze the following: 1) how many teachers know what SM is, 2) how many teachers, school counselors can identify the SM children, How many teachers know how to teach SM children, how many students have been place in special education that might be selectively mute. For example, I will analyze the knowledge of teachers regarding selectively mute children and their skill in identifying them. I will then compare the responses to determine if there are deficience in their awareness of the disorder.
Qualitative Data Analysis
Qualitative output will require me to look at the notes of my daughter and I and place our notes in a formatted theme form so they can form the basis for some of the awreness questions in my questionnaire.
My choice of questionnaire is a mixture of oen ended questionnaires and scenarios. I would choose this process because many times SM is confused with anxiety disorder or autism and there is a distinct difference of teaching strategies to be used; therefore, a scenario will determine if they are aware of SM or are confusing it with other

Data is the driving force for instruction and should be used to discuss goals students have met in the classroom and to set future instructional practices. It should also be utilized to determine the areas students need assistance in and interventions that might need to be put in place for students. Reflecting on my second-grade classroom, my action plan is going to target my math instruction. I always feel rushed with time and keep my mini lessons shorter, so I struggle to incorporate other strategies to teach the content. Currently, I provide opportunities for students to turn and talk to demonstrate their thinking.

An article over action research by E. Sigler (2009) provides insight into what qualifies as “action research” and what is “simply good reflective teaching.” The paper provides detail of how in-depth a research study needs to be and the qualities that it has to have to be counted as research by law. Understanding the differences in these two methods will help a teacher/educator become better prepared to undertake classroom research and also become a better reflective educator.

The “Action Research Project” from my Theories of Instruction class forced me to take a systematic approach at collecting multiple sources of data, analyzing it, and then representing it in order to determine how exactly my own instructional practices should be improved on. The “Effective Schools Project” from my Ethical Leadership class similarly helped me learn how to assess multiple perspectives and sources of data regarding issues such as the school’s climate, the school’s safety, student progress, and time on task. The “Field Experience Project” from my Curriculum Management class taught me how to look at the standardized test data to determine an area where curricular reform was needed and what my next steps would be to accomplish this reform. Finally, the “School Board Activity” from my Curriculum Management class helped me learn how to use data from an interview with a school board member to gain an understanding of where the school is at in assessing its effectiveness and how the school plans to achieve its
