Action Research
Implement Action Research professional development opportunities for faculty by June
2019.
Final Target Status > > Target Achieved
- Implemented two online courses on Action Research with a total of 27 faculty participating.
The courses were led by two faculty coaches and focused on examining classroom practices
and student behaviors relevant to students鈥� success. As part of this work, six participants
from the Action Research course were able to attend a Lilly conference entitled Evidence-based
Teaching and Learning. Upon returning from the conference, the attendees hosted a
brown bag seminar for faculty and deans to share what was learned in connection to
current or potential future Action Research projects/topics.
Results of a post-survey in each course indicate that 67% of faculty learned a lot
about conducting Action Research and an additional 38% learned a moderate amount.
When asked if they would be interested in doing a longer more in-depth Action Research
project, 40% indicated yes and an additional 35% indicated maybe.
Action Research work will continue through the Academy for Teaching Excellence and
graduate equivalency courses in Action Research are scheduled for fall 2019 and spring
2020.
