The Beginning

During our first class, we were immersed in the world of action research. It quickly became apparent that action research is imperative in the classroom, and so we wanted to share with you what it was.

Action research is the constant, even daily, process of posing questions, analyzing the results, and looking for solutions to everyday problems in the classroom. Action research involves using the classroom as the laboratory for teachers to find the best ways to improve instruction and increase academic performance. It allows teachers to self identify specific problems that they are having within the classroom and collaborate with other teachers to improve their areas of needs, ultimately delivering the best education possible to his or her students.

Does anyone have any experience with action research? If so, we'd love to hear about it!
