I have learned a great deal about action research both from the business and educational environments. The origins from Kurt Lewin assist professionals in proven research ideology. Action research is the reflective process of problem solving. It is most effective when working in teams collaborating together for the good of the school. The research is data driven to discover what the underlying causes of a problem are through a reflective process, and it focuses on those internal to the school instead of consulting with outside experts who analyze. The group must identify a problem, examine the data pertaining to the problem, ask questions to solve it, and request more information about. Then an effective solution and improvement can come about.
I would be able to use action research to solve problems that I encounter at work. I would continually reflect upon my education and prior experiences to provide insight to the problem solving process and strive to perform this reflection on a daily basis. Leadership teams need to be built for working with other administrators, and I would encourage the research along with provided data to ensure my peers benefit from each other’s perspectives. Our schools will benefit from shared knowledge.
