Looking ahead to the execution of my action research project, I envision a journey that begins as soon as possible and progresses methodically through January, ending in our presentation.
In the initial weeks, I will gather course data, which will serve as the bedrock for my investigation. This phase is crucial as it will inform the formulation of my research question.
By the end of the month, I will have submitted my final approved ethics form for my research, ensuring that my methodologies respect the dignity and privacy of all participants. Concurrently, I will engage with both primary and secondary research to fortify my understanding of the educational landscape. This dual approach will provide a robust foundation for the intervention I plan to implement.
With the intervention meticulously planned, December will mark the transition from theory to practice. I will set everything in motion, stepping into the role of both educator and researcher. The execution of the intervention will be a dance between adaptability and structure, with each step carefully observed and documented. At the end of the intervention period, I will be collecting data through questionnaires. I still do not know if these may be online, or in person, as I’m not 100% sure about my intervention yet.
After the intervention period. I will review the final outcomes and engage in deep reflection. This period is not merely about assessment but about understanding the layers of impact that my actions have had on the learning environment if any, as little as they may be.
For this unit, a big milestone of this project will be a presentation to share the findings and my reflection on the journey. I’m hoping it will encapsulate the challenges faced, the successes celebrated, and the knowledge gained. This presentation will not only signify the end of a cycle but also set the stage for future inquiries.
