ED 675 - Action Research Practicum II

Credits: 1.5

The action research project is the heart of the work in the Campbellsville University masters program. Practicum II builds upon knowledge gained in ED 665 and ED 670 in which action research has been explored and introduced. In this final practicum, the action research project is concluded, data is analyzed and implications of the research are reviewed and the final report is written. This self-reflective inquiry may yield unexpected data or variables not previously considered may be uncovered. The practice of regular reflection via an action research journal and/or online discussion board continue and conclude; feedback continues to be provided, the reflective writing is analyzed and discussed via the research response group online. Final parts of the action research reports are reviewed and peer editing occurs in the online setting. Research is shared in the face-to-face meetings and the plan to share the research more widely is reviewed and implemented. Reflection on the Teacher Leader Professional Growth Plan continues with written summary of progress reported in a reflection paper.
