WEEK 5 DISCUSSION BOARD: EXPLORING ACTION RESEARCH

 

Action research involves various cycles of action for planning, acting, observing, and reflecting. Using the Action Research Steps (see Chapter 17), create a five-step plan that might be applied in the setting where you presently work (or have worked in the past). Address the following questions in your initial post:

·         What problem would you address and why?

·         How might you approach the design using quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods?

·         What data would you collect and how would you triangulate?

·         What software would you use to analyze the data?

·         How would you share your results and why share them to these stakeholders?

·         Your present or past job setting may not be in counseling but what counseling/mental health needs could you address as a part of your plan?

Complete your initial post by Day 4 your action research steps, addressing the questions above.

Post by Day 6  the benefits/limitations you see in the plans presented by your peers in the forum.  In order to be eligible for maximum points, respond by Day 6 to two or more peers (with responses on separate days) , which may include your instructor, who provided different examples/articles than the one you selected. Support your initial post with at least two cited resources. Include all references in APA format and respond by to your peers by using one or more of the following:

·         Asking a probing question

·         Sharing an insight from having read your colleague’s posting

·         Offering and supporting an opinion

·         Validating an idea with your own experience

·         Making a suggestion

·         Expanding on your colleague’s posting.

Return to this Discussion in a few days to read the responses to your initial posting. Note what you have learned and/or any insights you have gained as a result of the comments your colleagues made. See the discussion board rubric for details with respect to grading
