<strong><strong>EDU</strong><strong>695</strong></strong> <strong>EDU</strong>/<strong>695</strong> <strong>EDU</strong> <strong>695</strong> <strong>Week</strong> 4 <strong>DQ</strong> 1/<strong>Discussion</strong> 1 <strong>Share</strong> <strong>Your</strong> <strong>Action</strong> <strong>Research</strong> <strong>Study</strong> -[<strong>LATEST</strong>] <strong>Share</strong> <strong>Your</strong><br />

<strong>Action</strong> <strong>Research</strong> <strong>Study</strong>. <strong>Action</strong> research is a form of inquiry in which a problem is identified and a series of actions are<br />

planned as a way of gaining deeper understanding of the range of possible solutions. The purpose of this discussion is<br />

to promote reciprocal sharing of your final action research report with others in your community of practice (your peers in<br />

this course) who would value the knowledge you have gained through the action research process. In this discussion,<br />

you will create a presentation using the software of your choice (e.g., PowerPoint, Google Docs, Present.me, YouTube,<br />

Prezi, Jing, SlideRocket, or another program) to present your findings to your school at an after school staff meeting.<br />

Include speaker notes if using PowerPoint. If using a program other than PowerPoint, submit a document with speaker<br />

notes included for each slide. There are two parts to this discussion. Part 1: <strong>Share</strong> the process and results of the action<br />

research planned in <strong>EDU</strong>671 and conducted in <strong>EDU</strong>675. At a minimum: ? Describe the purpose of your study by writing<br />

a statement that completes the following sentence, ?The purpose of this study is to?? (two to three sentences). ? Post<br />

your research question(s) - Include definitions of key technical terms, if necessary. (one to three sentences) ?<br />

Outcomes/Results The ?so what?? of your study?Answers to your research questions. (three to four sentences) ?<br />

Assuming you would conduct another cycle of this study, what specific modifications or adjustments would you make,<br />

and why? (three to four sentences) ? Explain why this study is important to the school and the students. ( two to three<br />

sentences) ? Explain why this study is important it is important for teachers and other educational practitioners to<br />

become researchers of their own practice. (two to three sentences) Part 2: ? Attach a link to your electronic portfolio<br />

(Pathbrite). ? In one paragraph, reflect on your experience with the redesign of the <strong>Week</strong> Three Assignment in terms of<br />

challenges you encountered and how you overcame those challenges. Also include how your assessment promotes<br />

learning and innovation skills and how it could be used as a tool for ongoing evaluation of student progress. Use the<br />

PowerPoint Template as a guide to help create a high quality presentation. Alternate: If you do not have your own<br />

completed action research to utilize, you will take a slightly different approach to complete this discussion: Using the<br />

Ashford University Library, locate and analyze a peer-reviewed educational action research study. You will follow the<br />

same guidelines in Part 1 of the discussion to create a presentation to share in the discussion forum. An added part to<br />

your presentation is reference to the article. Guided Response: Respond to at least two peers. In your replies, take on<br />

the role of a teacher listening to the presentation. Ask questions about your peer?s action research study and offer an<br />

additional resource for consideration that supports an alternative viewpoint. Though two replies is the basic expectation,<br />

for deeper engagement and learning, you are encouraged to provide responses to any comments or questions others<br />

have given to you, including the instructor. Responding to the replies given to you will further the conversation and<br />

provide additional opportunities for you to demonstrate your content expertise, critical thinking, and real-world<br />

experiences with this topic.<br />
