Action Research involves seeking new solutions to problems or issues. In my case, I will apply it to a high school setting. In order to delve into the process, one must first have a shared vision that is communicated within the school and community. Next, select an issue that hinders the vision, devise strategies that could possibly offer solutions to the issue--reflect, discuss, seek new ways. All of these will assist in creating an on-going solution. Develop new ideas. Research what others are doing to overcome similar issues in parallel situations. Glean from these what could work; disseminate what will not work; devise new ideas that could help achieve the shared school and community vision.
Other factors to consider are scheduling, budgeting, and communicating within the school setting. How will the district pay for the possible solution? How will they introduce this to the students, faculty, staff, and community? Reflect on possible problems. Address these issues before they arise. By spending much time on reflection, it will help after the plan is implemented.
Action Research brings change by working together to develop new ideas.
