Topic 0
In this webinar, we will focus on how to get started with action research, including how to choose a topic, refine a research question and plan the intervention(s). We are going to learn how to examine our own educational practice systematically and carefully using the techniques of research. Action research helps us to turn “classroom challenges” into “researchable questions” and thereby come up with more effective and sustainable solutions.
As we are starting learning more about action research, it would be useful to keep in hand the template below for when you feel ready to start developing your own action research plan.
