Topic – Action Research
Action Research involves identifying areas that need attention, planning and implementation of the measures that will bring about the desired change. Teachers put in intensive thought into the picking out an issue that is seen as a deterrent to the performance of the students or an area where improvement is necessary. They use various ideas and activities to reach the students and make learning effective.
The steps involved in Action Research are –
a) Title b) Objectives c) Hypothesis d) Procedure e) Analysis f) Recommendation g) What did I learn
Ms. Mulay explained that this method is adopted in the U.S. and has been effective in bringing about improvement in the learning outcome of students. It also ensures that educators introspect to find out where the error lies and take appropriate action in order to meet the purpose of education.This action research when completed and recorded proves to be a free resource for other teachers to use when facing similar problems.
Teachers first worked in groups to identify various issues they / students face in their subject. Thereafter the teacher participants worked individually and went through the steps involved in the action research. Ms. Mulay provided clarification wherever there was confusion or doubt. Teachers soon realised that this method would change their perspective to a problem and automatically modify the teaching method to ensure better grasping of concepts.
Every teacher participant will do an Action Research Project in detail as a project.
