Assignment: Share Your Peer Reviewed Study

Action research is a form of inquiry in which a problem is identified and a series of actions are planned as a way of gaining deeper understanding of the range of possible solutions. The purpose of this discussion is to promote reciprocal sharing of the study you reviewed with others in your community of practice (your peers in this course) who would value the knowledge you have gained through the peer review process of the study.

There are two parts to this discussion.

Part 1: Share the process and results of the action research study you peer reviewed in EDU 694. At a minimum:

• Describe the purpose of the study by writing a statement that completes the following sentence, "The purpose of this study was to..." (two to three sentences).

• Post the research question(s) - Include definitions of key technical terms, if necessary (one to three sentences).

• Outcomes/Results or the "so what?" of the study - Answers to the research questions. (three to four sentences)

• Assuming you would conduct another cycle of this study, what specific modifications or adjustments would you make, and why? (three to four sentences)

• Explain why this study is important for teachers and other educational practitioners to read about. (two to three sentences)

Part 2: In one paragraph, reflect on your experience with the redesign of the Week Three Assignment in terms of challenges you encountered and how you overcame those challenges. Also include how your assessment promotes learning and innovation skills and how it could be used as a tool for ongoing evaluation of student progress.
