Action Research "take two"

With many of the Lamar classes I have completed toward this master’s degree, I have learned to relax a little and “go with the flow”. This course is no exception. When first considering Research as a course I must complete – I admit I had notions of long boring sessions in the library researching an assigned topic of little to no interest to me. This thankfully has shown not to be the case.

I have learned that action research is quite different from the notion of research we have all endured in other degree programs. It is in fact part of my work that I am already familiar with. Simply stated, Action research is a systematic approach to problem solving for you, by you, at your school. This is merely another way to look at “data driven” choices. I already am using action research – I just didn’t refer to it by the same name.
