Throughout this Research course, I have learned more about action research and different ways to utilize it towards the development of my career.  Many different aspects benefit the learning of action research and I am sure I will continue to learn about action research after the course itself is complete.  While viewing the lectures and videos over the past 5 weeks, I have learned that action research is always evolving and revisions can always be made.  In fact, at this point in the course, no revisions may seem questionable and would bring myself to question if my action research was adequate enough and accurate?  I also learned that many different action research plans are developed around current situations and learning experiences as well as a wide variety of learning topics that administrators and educators face on a daily basis. The readings provided by Dana and Harris, et. al, were quite insightful.  Learning about different theories and methods of actions research was eye opening as it applies to collaborations I have been involved with in the past and current year.  The Delphi Method is one strategy that I was unaware existed, but went through the technical/physical actions of the method.  By responding to an issue or giving feedback, this has contributed to an overall consensus (Harris, et. al, p. 95).  During the draft of my action research plan, I found myself thinking of new activities/tasks that would benefit to the research and data collection.  Always drafting a “plan” that is detail oriented can be very overwhelming and I found this to come naturally as I have a natural curiosity and wondering towards my action research goal.  I know there will be revisions as my action research is being conducted and will make changes accordingly. Seeing firsthand others’ discussions and their action research plans, other questions have been brought up and I found I can apply them to my research plan as well.  It is refreshing and beneficial to view others’ perspectives on action research and how they apply it to their teaching experiences, learning situations and real world events.  Others have given me some insight to my own research plan and pointed out different evaluations and self assessments I can use towards my goal. I have used a wiki for my classroom and learners; however I have not used a blog for my own personal reflection.  I found this to be insightful as my colleagues and peers are able to view and comment on my personal learning.  Not only that, but this allows me to share with them and vice versa.  It’s great to view other educators around Texas learning and experiencing action research in the same realm, but different circumstances.  It also gives allows me to pick and choose different methods and strategies that work best toward my learning/teaching style. This action research course has been a great learning experience in that I have gained valuable information on how to better research and evaluate myself as a professional.  I can use this in my current position as well as my future leading position in an administrative role.
