During this week I learned a great deal about Action Research. From the lectures I learned that Action Research must be relevant and based on data. We must get to know our students and how they learn best. Keeping current by reading on the topics that interest you and by attending workshops is essential. Try to not reinvent the wheel and use what is already available, as long as it fits in your situation.
In my readings I learned about the 9 passions of wondering, according to Dana(2009). These passions helped me to break down important issues or topics that affect my campus and it also gave me great ideas on how to address those specific topics. The exercises at the end of the passions helped me by giving me exercises that can be completed by myself or my coworkers in our inquiry into the different passions. It is exciting to see my action research project idea develop and I am interested in our next steps in the process of inquiring in my topic and learning as much as I can about my project idea. Good Luck to all as you are all going thru the same process.
