To participate in the following discussion, go to this weeksDiscussion link in the left navigation.Action Research What it Means to YouYou already learned that action research is a type of inquiry used to describe professionals studying their own practice for the purpose of inspiring the change process. According to the North Central Regional Educational Laboratory as cited by (Action Research, n.d., para 1), Action research is inquiry or research in the context of focused efforts to improve the quality of an organization and its performance. It typically is designed and conducted by practitioners who analyze the data to improve their own practice. This week you begin the implementation of your action research. Congratulations! You have spent a considerable amount of time in the thoughtful planning and development of your study. Now is the exciting time to begin collecting data. Furthermore, in one of the discussions in Week Four, you explain key leadership styles, strategies and responsibilities of the school personnel, community organization, or own children with which you are observing during the implementation of your action research project.Initial Post: Include a paragraph describing your interpretation of the Action Research (n.d.) quote above for this discussion including how it specifically relates to your action research proposal. Then, in one-to-two paragraphs, explain the ways you envision your research might assist with implementing the change you desire in your selected organization. Start by stating briefly what the intervention/innovation is then explain the ways you envision it implementing a desired change.Guided Response: Respond to at least two peers. In responses, consider asking questions of your peers about their responses to encourage further conversation. Select responses that resonate with your own thoughts and comment on similarities to your own initial post. Provide specific recommendations and feedback regarding their actual intervention/innovation. Comment on their thoughts regarding how their research might promote the positive change they envision. Ask questions if anything is unclear to you. Again, though two responses is the basic expectation, for deeper engagement and learning, you are encouraged to provide responses to any comments or questions others have given to you including the instructor before the last day of the discussion to further the conversation while also giving you opportunities to demonstrate your content expertise, critical thinking, and real world experiences with this topic.AssignmentTo complete the following assignment, go to this weeksAssignment link in the left navigation.How is My Research Relevant? A Work in ProgressRecall, action research focuses on enabling teachers, researchers and leaders to be continuous learners (Mills, 2014). By this, action research is considered a work in progress (Brydon-Miller, Greenwood, & Maguire, 2003, p. 10) and is considered a common formative assessment (Buczynski & Hansen, 2014, p. 352). The process of deliberate and repeated fine-tuning to the design is critical to successful implementation of action research. Therefore, part of the purpose of this assignment is to ensure relevancy of your research and to deepen the research endeavor. Your final project in this course involves preparing a comprehensive presentation of your findings. This assignment is the first step in putting your final project together. Through the collaborative conversations that occur during this weeks discussions, you will gain helpful information from classmates that may prompt a need for refining your research design as it evolves.Remember, it is important that the data collection is aligned with the research question(s), which was required in the matrix from EDU671. Therefore, another purpose for this assignment is for you to use this assignment as an opportunity to revise and adjust the data collection portion of your study. Effective action research practice includes ongoing and deliberate thought in order to positively inform your study. Revisions are required as part of this action research process. Consequently, incorporating this information is essential to a comprehensive data collection process and presentation of findings that is due in Week Six. For this assignment, you summarize the necessary modifications you made to your action research between the proposal process from EDU671 to this second week as you begin implementation of your study. Please address each of the components listed below in the content expectations and write your paper to meet the written communication expectations below. If modifications were not needed to a particular component, share what was in place originally and label it with the words NO CHANGE.Content ExpectationsResearch Focus (1 Points): Describe the current area of focus for the research including required revisions thus far.Literature (2 Points): Synthesize the literature you have found in addition to your matrix developed in EDU 671 that supports your proposal.Defining Variables (1 Points): Describe your defining variables in specific and operational terms.Research Questions (.5 Points): State your research question(s) in a list format making sure that there is a clear relationship through clear and concise wording to the action research project.Intervention/Innovation (2 Points): Analyze the intervention/innovation as it pertains to the connection of the action research project to the field of education, the specific community, non-educational, or individual personal issue in which you are studying.Data Collection (.5 points): Describe the type of data collection tools to be used in the study.Written Communication ExpectationsPage Requirement (.5 points): Two-to-three pages, not including title and references pages.APA Formatting (.5 points): Use APA formatting consistently throughout the assignment.Syntax and Mechanics (.5 points): Display meticulous comprehension and organization of syntax and mechanics, such as spelling and grammar.Source Requirement (.5 points): Include a minimum of two scholarly sources in addition to the course textbook, providing compelling evidence to support ideas. All sources on the references page need to be used and cited correctly within the body of the assignment.
