technical terms had hyperlinks to the glossary and back links to sections Glossary Here is an alphabetical list of specialist terms you may not be familiar with. Some of them have a link to an in-depth explanation or a diagram. Action research "Action research consists of a family of research methodologies which pursue action and research outcomes at the same time." Bob Dick (2005) Put simply, action research is a cyclical (sometimes described as spiral) process aimed at informed, planned, actions to bring improvement to a problematic situation. My study sets out not to prove or disprove a theory but rather to relate theory to practice and to use the techniques of systematic enquiry to gather data to inform planned actions. It uses mostly qualitative data, theory and reflections to inform the planning process. This diagram may help to clarify the action research process. If you are interested you can find out more about my use of action research in this study by following the link to my research methodology on the Links page. Back to My Learning Journey Blogs Blogs are rather like diaries. Entries appear in date order and are easy to add to. Usually they are hosted on another web site so you don't need to be very technical to use one. Other people can leave you messages on your entries. This means that instead of just being able to look at a web page, people can tell you what they think about what you've written. Back to My Learning Journey back to section2 |
