Research Question: What is the impact of using visuals on elementary school students’ learning in (names of the city and country that I will choose)?
- Research design: Quantitative
- Data collection method: Questionnaires only. (Mention that the questionnaires will be sent to them via emails since I am in the U.S and the study’s participants are in a foreign country).
- Participants: 66 elementary school teachers of different subjects. 33 males+ 33 females
Other Notes:
- Please use very simple language.
- APA citation ( 6th edition) protocol is very important to this professor. Include the page number with each citation.
Brief summary of what is action research:
- Action research is undertaken in a school setting. It is a reflective process that allows for inquiry and discussion as components of the “research”.
- Often, action research is a collaborative activity among colleagues searching for solutions to everyday, real problems experienced in schools, or looking for ways to improve instruction and increase student achievement. (Since I am not teaching, the goal that drives my study is to investigate the impact of visuals on children’s learning in order to further improve the instruction in a country and increase the students’ achievement)
- What is Not Action Research?
Action research is not what usually comes to mind when we hear the word “research.” Action research is not a library project where we learn more about a topic that interests us. It is not problem-solving in the sense of trying to find out what is wrong, but rather a quest for knowledge about how to improve. Action research is not about doing research on or about people, or finding all available information on a topic looking for the correct answers. It involves people working to improve their skills, techniques, and strategies. Action research is not about learning why we do certain things, but rather how we can do things better. It is about how we can change our instruction to impact students.
OUTLINE FOR YOUR FINAL PROJECT
| SECTION | NARRATIVE | PAGE LENGTH |
| 1. Introduction | This section tells why and how the study came about, including personal motivation, rationale, need for the study. This section usually concludes with a statement about what researchers hope to learn. A list of “key words” concludes this section. | 3pages |
| 2. Review of Literature | This section summarizes what other researchers, and theorists, have learned about the topic of your study. Inform readers how the review is organized. Present what you have learned, depending on how things fit together. Complete the section with a summative paragraph which ties the review of literature together. | 6 pages |
| 3. Design/ Methodology | This section indicates who (participants), what (what you tried), when (how often, how long), where (setting), why (why you chose this approach and not some other approach). | 6 pages |
| 4. Changes | Few Action Research studies proceed exactly as planned. Save a section to record changes from your original plans. | one page |
| 5. Results | These include findings, results of analyses (tallies, frequencies, etc.), tables, graphs, graphics, and your theorizing about these. Divide this section into subsections as you see fit. | 8 pages |
| 6. Reflections | What would you do differently next time? Do you have new questions? What was your journey like? How do you feel about what you have done? What have you learned about the topic? What have you learned about Action research? What have you learned about yourself, your situation, and your students? | 3 pages |
| 7. References | Include all of the sources referred to in the paper. Make sure you follow APA protocol for each reference. | Varies by study |
| 8. Appendices | Include copies of survey (sample only), interviews, artifacts, permission letters, excerpted research log, and whatever else is pertinent. | Varies by Study |
| 9. Abstract | Composed at the conclusion of the study, this is a concise summary of the researcher questions, purposes, methods, and findings/outcome(s). | 50-100 words |
