My Advanced Action Research Strengths

I plan to use the input and assistance of my principal, administration, and other colleagues to assist me with necessary portions of my action research project. I will develop a written plan of action further in the project, monitor the project reflective, and prepare a research summary research report of the results of my action research project addressing the effectiveness of the implementation of the PBIS program at Otter Creek Middle School. My plans are for my research to be implemented further along with my principal internship after I have completed the course as well.

Week 5--Annotated bibliography for the Final Paper. Your bibliography should include references to at least six outside sources. Also required is a brief, one-paragraph summary of the publication and your reasoning as to why this source is important to the topic you are investigating.

Based on my prior knowledge and this week’s resource, I see a little clear why action research can help me address the needs of my students better. This week I have learned the difference between action research/teacher inquiry and education traditional research. Also, I have learned the relationship between action research and teacher professional growth and decision making. Last, I have been able to see what teacher inquiry/action research look like, how they are similar and different.

The first quiz I took was the “Emotional Intelligence Quiz.” My score was a seventeen out of twenty. The interpretation states, “You seem naturally well-attuned to others' emotions--a vital skill for forming compassionate connections. You scored well above average but still have room for growth; research suggests that people can improve their emotion recognition skills with practice.” The easiest part of this quiz was identifying the emotions that were presented. The most difficult part for me was understanding why my answer was incorrect because when my answer was incorrect, my choice was very similar to the correct answer. For example, at one point I picked shame instead of embarrassment, and the two look very similar. The main thing I learned from this quiz was

By going through the process of reviewing the literature I was educated on how scientist practitioners apply research to the field of practice. Once armed with the research I was able to implement interventions that I believed to work and used the research to show our accrediting agency so that I was able to use my own interventions in my

In order for a researcher to conduct an action research analysis several factors must be determined. The specific purpose for the research, the components, and stakeholders. My action research project is to address a specific problem my agency has with employee retention within the patrol division during the past three years. In conducting a critical mass analysis it is important to determine who has influence and can assist with making suggestions on changes or give necessary data. Stringer (2007) states, "action research is a systematic approach to investigation

Reading Chapter 7, Taking Action, helped me to better understand the ways in which perceptual processes such as ones that are being physically active in the world. Through most of the 20th century, the dominant way perception research was carried out was by having stationary observer look at static stimuli in a laboratory situation. Gibson argued that this traditional way of studying perception lacked ecological validity. Ecological perception is defined as a valid experiment that matches its stimuli, conditions, and procedures to those present in the natural world. There are three separate optic flows including: gradient of flow, focus of expansion, and self-produced information. Gradient of flow is the difference in flow as a function of distance from the observer. Focus of expansion is the point in distance where

On the early daylight hours of the 9th of July, Chandler the Fair’s section spent the next five days tracking down the identities of the third party that Frank White mentioned to him, after learning of new information that he had informed them of. Meanwhile, half of Action Andy and Germania’s sections were told by the leader of the Rosy Thorn Bush to assist them and the Ryanischwalküren in northern Florida on the motorcycle they were trying to develop. As a result, Germania, Action Andy and about three other individuals from each of their sections went to the neighboring state Georgia, after the people they and their sections were working with directed both of them in that direction.

Reviewing of literature is a valuable contribution to the action research process (Mills, 2012). The purpose of this paper is to search for literature using both the Web and the Ashford Library, using only keywords that best signify the area of focus for action research project.

The simulated nation of Paxony is a democracy, and abounds in natural resources. It also spends lots of time forging new ideas and fighting over land strips, while also being susceptible to many terrorist attacks. For these reasons and several others, the simulated nation of Paxony most closely aligns with the political systems, ideals, and history of the United States of America.

Great Post !! Client’s autonomy is very important, especially when it comes to action research. Participants have to feel that they are a part of the change in order to ensure the outcome is successful(Stringer, 2014). While working in the Substance Abuse field, we used motivational interviewing to help clients in the change process who are uncertain about their goals for treatment. As I learned previously Carl Rogers believed that clients had the capacity within them to make changes and the relationship between the clients and therapist is a democratic partnership (Diclemente, 1999). Therefore, in action research this technique helps participants to become an integral part in the change process, which makes the outcome successful. Most times

Taking Action is a chapter that refers to the journey of a healthcare professional Chelsea Savage, who become an active participant of Nursing political policy after she understands the social needs for change and justice. She believes that the reason behind this opportunity was perhaps her infatuation for social justice, her curiosity for a new adventure and her mentors. Weeks after, Chelsea receives the invitation by her mentor Shirley Gibson to become a member of the Legislative Committee for the Virginia Nurses Executives, Her duties as a leader of healthcare organizations started, by contacting state leaders who would provide the support on nursing and healthcare issues.

There were also some differences, on average, in field of application. Action learning was more often used in organisational settings. Action research more common in community and educational settings.

The Enact method draws from a cross-Disciplinary approach in order to be able to work with each participants at their past and level of functioning (Feldman, Sussman Jones, & Ward, 2009. pp. 286-287). Drama Therapy and more specifically the Enact method assist in giving children on the spectrum the opportunity to connect, by creating proper environment and safe space (Feldman, Sussman Jones, & Ward, 2009. p. 289). The Enact method understand that in order to understand and be engage with the environment the individual should be in touch with her or his own feelings. From This reason, the focus in Enact method is to develop emotional as well as social
