What's so special about action research?
This week I learned about the importance of action research for both personal and professional growth. It was a little overwhelming to learn about the plethora of possible topics in the education field but at the same time insightful that whatever passion I have, there is something I can focus on and dig deeper to understand. It's odd because action research is very personal because you experience the process personally, while also being universal because you gather data from a variety of sources and your findings can be used openly by all.

Like you, I feel a bit overwhelmed. There are so many topics, I keep flipping and refining, and I am still not entirely sure I am set yet. This is definitely a living breathing process unlike the static research I grew up on stuck in a library. But I must say, it is a welcomed relief as well, not to be confined in the research process.
ReplyDeleteIt is personal, yet at the same time, through this world of blogs we can find others who are in some way experiencing what we are.
