This course was very interested because I never heard of an action research plan. Besides being an enlightening course, I learned how to blog. Before taking this course, I really did not know anything about action research and inquiry-based research. This will prepare me to be a principal-researcher that will improve investigative and leadership abilities in many ways. The book, Leading with Passion and Knowledge: The Principal as Action Researcher (Dana) is a very resourceful and informative book on developing and conducting an action research study from beginning to end. Originally, I thought the book was really going to be the same information that I learned during my master program. The book provided insightful views and strategies for my action research plan. This book helps me to understand the purpose of an action research plan.
I also enjoyed learning about blogging. Writing my own blog was very excited. Reading other peoples’ blogs online helped me to understand there are different types of action research plan. It’s was very interesting to create my own blog. Other people have not read it yet. I found this class also involved collaborative and communicative in the discussions posted on the discussion board each week. I found the discussions with my classmates to be very informative, insightful and supportive in terms of my action research plan. The meeting with my site supervisor was an important part of this class and determining what my action research plan. The meeting was difficulty to agree on. When we finally met, she recommends that my first action research plan was too general and very difficult to find examine. Therefore, we brainstorm on a new topic. Finally, I believe my action research plan is a good one and will provide me the opportunity to become a better thinker, researcher, and ultimately a better leader.
