An Application to Action Research Steps
A Simple Application to Action Research Steps
Most teachers practice teaching to provide the best possible education for students. So is action research, it comes from the classroom issues and ends at its application inside the classroom to develop the process of learning and teaching.
( The first step of to Action Research is: Finding a Focus: As for myself, I used the “reflective journal” for 2 weeks, in which I answered the main question, “What happened in class today that was particularly interesting, exciting, frustrating, or fun?” I was writing down freely without putting a certain pattern in mind. After the passage of 2 weeks, I reread the journal and I found out that I’ve 2 patterns which I repeated in my journal:
1. For 3 times, I wrote about the ADHD students, their preference in answering orally and in writing, their test-taking experience and how they couldn’t answer some of the test questions due to their attention deficit, my colleagues’ realization of those students’ behavioural nature, the learning strategies they follow with them and my colleagues’ impressions about those students. The thing that I didn’t enjoy was: they were so much annoyed with those students.
2. For 2 times, I wrote about the importance of listening skills, what I did with my students to encourage and develop these skills. While my colleagues neglected these skills. So, the students became unwilling to listen. The thing that made me think; how to develop such forgotten skills among those students.
Next, I asked myself, “Do I wish to conduct action research on any of these trends?” The answer was, “Yes, I would like to investigate more about ADHD learning strategies.”
Consequently, I made “face-to-face interviews” with the school psychologist and social worker. The interviews started with flipping a coin to see who will go first; each one individually; they talked for 20 minutes, I asked general questions about the psychological,
