Action Research
Instructions: For this assignment, you will create a
document that includes both the Early Action Research
Plan and criteria for your area of focus. The plan you
share is the same one posted in the Early Action
Research Ideas discussion from this week. Please be
sure to consider the feedback you received from peers
and your instructor and make necessary changes before
including this plan in your assignment submission. For
the criteria part of the assignment, consider what you
read in "Themes in Education: Action Research" and

“Current Trends in Education.” What topics did you see
and read about that lead you toward clarifying a general
idea and establishing an area of focus for research?
Please refer to the “Research in Action Checklist Three –
One” (Mills, 2014, p. 44) to establish criteria for your
area of focus. Note that writing in the first-person voice
during the criteria section of this assignment is
acceptable.
Content
The assignment needs to include the following areas of
content.
• Plan – Area of Focus (1 point): In no more than two
paragraphs, describe your early idea of what the
purpose of your study may be.
• Plan – Explanation of Problem (1 point): In no more
than two paragraphs, explain a statement of the
problem or situation that led to this interest or why you
want to pursue this topic.
• Plan – Population (.5 point): In no more than a
paragraph, describe the population (age/grade, quantity
of participants, students or adults).
• Plan – Population Choice (.5 point): In no more than a
paragraph, explain why you have chosen your
population for this study, including details about why
this population is appropriate for this study.

• Plan – Research Questions (1 point): Develop two to
three research questions that align with the area of
focus and address what you hope to answer in this
study. The questions need to be answerable and
presented in list format, and they must appropriately
represent the population/participants you identified.
• Idea – Teaching and Learning (.5 points): In at least
one paragraph, evaluate whether your idea is an issue
that involves teaching and learning. Use relevant
literature to support the evaluation.
• Idea – Locus of Control (.5 points): In at least one
paragraph, evaluate whether your idea is within your
locus of control.
• Idea – Passion (.5 points): In at least one paragraph,
describe whether your idea is something you feel
passionate about and where this passion originates
from for you (e.g., life experiences or professional
practice).
• Idea – Inspiration (.5 points): In at least one
paragraph, describe how your idea inspires you to
implement change or improvement.
Written Communication
The assignment needs to adhere to the following areas
for written communication.

• Page Requirement (.5 points): The assignment must
be two to three pages, not including title and references
pages.
• APA Formatting (.5 points): Use APA formatting
consistently throughout.
• Syntax and Mechanics (.5 points): Display meticulous
comprehension and organization of syntax and
mechanics, such as spelling and grammar. Your written
work should contain no errors and be very easy to
understand.

scholarly sources in addition to the course textbooks,
providing compelling evidence to support ideas. All
sources on the reference page need to be used and cited
correctly within the body of the assignment.

ASH EDU 671 Week 1 DQ 1 Understanding Action
Research
ash/edu-671-week-1-dq-1-understanding-action-
research
EDU 671 Week 1 DQ 1 Understanding Action Research
Part One: According Eileen Ferrance (2000) in Themes
in education: Action research, action research “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” (p. 9). Considering this perspective as
well as the information in Chapter 1 of Action Research:
A Guide for the Teacher Researcher, what factors bring
value to action research, differentiating it from
traditional educational research? Include at least three
factors that are beneficial or lend credibility.

Part Two: Ferrance (2000) adds, “One of the drawbacks
of individual research is that it may not be shared with
others unless the teacher chooses to present findings at
a faculty meeting, make a formal presentation at a
conference, or submit written material to a listserv,
journal, or newsletter” (p. 9). Considering that your
Final project will be an action research proposal
presentation, how will this lead you to improve your
practice and make changes to instruction to positively
impact students?
Part Three: Visit the Ashford University Library. Locate
a full-text article that addresses Part One, providing
additional comparisons between action and traditional
research, or find an article that discusses Part Two,
sharing research findings. Share at least one point from
your article that adds to what you learned from our
assigned readings. Be sure to cite your article according
to APA standards.
Guided Response: Locate and respond to two
classmates’ posts which contain differing perspectives
on the value of action research or that which is different
than your own. What new or different perspectives
regarding action research do you now have as a result?
Provide specific feedback regarding their ideas to
improve their practice and how their concepts will
impact students. *It is expected for you to follow up by
the last day of the week to provide a secondary response
to any comments or questions your instructor may have

provided. This is part of the grading criteria as a
demonstration of critical thinking.

ASH EDU 671 Week 1 DQ 2 Early Action Research Ideas
ash/edu-671-week-1-dq-2-early-action-research-
ideas
EDU 671 Week 1 DQ 2 Early Action Research Ideas
Familiarize yourself with the nine steps that Mills
(2014) presents in Chapter 3, pp. 69-70, in order to
complete the first three steps of your Final Project,
Action Research Plan. Follow the directions below as
they differ from the steps on page 69. As well, review
Mills (2014) Informed Consent and Protection from
Harm in Chapter 2, pp. 32-36, in order to discuss the
need for completion of informed consent as it relates to
your action research proposal.
At this point, you are presenting early ideas that are not
concrete, as you have not conducted a review of

literature yet. Therefore, your responses should be in
outline form only. (You will make these three steps
more concrete and formal in structure in Week Three).
For now, you will briefly explain the problem or
situation.
1. Current Work Setting
o Describe your current professional setting, if
applicable, whether you are working in a school setting,
other educational setting, or organization not related to
education.
2. Potential Population Effected
o Keeping the focus relatively small, describe whether
the potential population of interest includes a group of
students and what their grade or age level includes. If
you currently work with adults in a non-educational
setting, include who in your workplace is impacted. If
you are currently unemployed, include who may benefit
from a potential change or intervention(i.e. your child, a
related child, an adult in the family, etc.). Avoid the use
of specific names, rather describe the group or
individuals who would be influenced or involved in the
action research project.
o Based on what you learned by reading the selection
in Mills, discuss the importance of and need to
communicate and acquire informed consent. When
contemplating where your study may occur and who it
may involve, who (person’s professional role) do you

anticipate will need to sign an informed consent form
for your study? If no signatures are needed, clearly state
why not.
3. Area of Focus
o Identify your early idea of what the purpose of your
study may be.
4. Explanation of Problem
o Statement of problem or situation that led to this
interest or why you want to pursue this topic, including
trends in education or educational research.
5. Define Variables
o Describe the population (age/grade, quantity of
participants, students/or adults). Briefly explain why
you have chosen them.
6. Research question(s)
o What do you wonder? Consider your area of focus
statement. What do you hope to answer?
Guided Response: Respond to at least two of your
classmates, one with a different topic idea than your
own. Ask a question that will encourage them to expand
their thinking, consider another point or perspective, or
explain more deeply what is appealing about the
topic. Make a recommendation to help them narrow
their focus or expand their scope. *It is expected you

follow-up by the last day of the week to provide a
secondary response to any comments or questions your
instructor may have provided. This is part of the grading
criteria as a demonstration of critical thinking.

ASH EDU 671 Week 2 DQ 1 The Literature Review
Debate
ash/edu-671-week-2-dq-1-the-literature-review-
debate
EDU 671 Week 2 DQ 1 The Literature Review Debate
In Chapter 3 of Action Research: A Guide for the Teacher
Researcher, the debate over the role of the literature
process is discussed. Mills (2014) remarks,
Some researchers have argued that reviewing the
literature curtails inductive analysis—using induction
to determine the direction of the research—and should
be avoided at the early stages of the research
process. Others suggest that the review of related
literature is important early in the action research
process because it helps action researchers identify
underlying assumptions behind their research

questions and helps the researcher refine research
questions and embed them in guiding hypotheses that
provide possible direction to follow (p.74).
At this early stage of action research as you prepare to
search for credible sources of information to help you
build an action research proposal, discuss which
viewpoint on these two perspectives you lean toward
and why. How do you intend to use what you learned
concerning best practices for research from the chapter
and the web-based resources to help you search
effectively and efficiently?
Guided Response: When reading your peers’ responses
to the question, identify a peer who has responded with
a perspective that is different from your own. Now,
instead of countering their analysis, attempt to support
it. Then, find someone who agrees with your point of
view and challenge his/her perspective. *It is expected
you follow up by the last day of the week to provide a
secondary response to any comments or questions your
instructor may have provided. This is part of the grading
criteria as a demonstration of critical thinking.

ASH EDU 671 Week 3 DQ 1 Triangulation
ash/edu-671-week-3-dq-1-triangulation
EDU 671 Week 3 DQ 1 Triangulation
In Chapter 4 of Action Research: A Guide for the Teacher
Researcher, Mills (2014) shares that “ the strength of
educational research lies in its triangulation, collecting
information in many ways rather than relying solely on
one” (p. 104).
Complete the Data collection worksheet to include the
following:
1. Area of focus statement

2. Brief description of proposed intervention
3. Table
The following table provides a completed sample of:
1. Up to three research questions (you will have
between one and three questions for your study).
2. An appropriately aligned data collection tool.
3. An explanation as to how the tool will help you
answer your research question.
Will the incorporation of project-based learning
improve students’ state assessment scores as it relates
to the Common Core State Standards in comprehending
non-fiction text?
Will the inclusion of project-based learning improve
student application of comprehending non-fiction text at
a high depth of knowledge level?
How does project-based learning integrate clear
expectations and essential criteria and remain
successful?

ASH EDU 671 Week 3 DQ 2 Ethics in Research
ash/edu-671-week-3-dq-2-ethics-in-research
EDU 671 Week 3 DQ 2 Ethics in Research
Briefly describe the population from which data will be
collected from during future implementation of the
action research study. View the Belmont Report, Ethical
Principles and Guidelines for the Protection of Human
Subjects of Research. Then watch the following videos*:
*WARNING: The following videos contain strong or
potentially offensive language.
a. Obedience to Authority_Stanley Milgram Experiment

b. Feature Film – The Stanford Prison Experiment
(Documentary)
c. Apology to survivors of the Tuskegee syphilis
experiment
According to Mills (2014), “all research studies involve
ethical considerations. Therefore, all researchers must
be aware of and attend to the ethical considerations
related to their studies” (p. 27). Therefore, identify the
potential ethical concerns associated with the topic you
selected in Week One in collecting the type of data you
plan to collect from this particular population. How will
you address those ethical concerns when designing your
action research project around this topic? Be sure to
keep in mind the big three ethical principles: respect for
persons, beneficence, and justice, as well as informed
consent, assessment of risk, and selection of subjects as
discussed in the Belmont Report and to refer to them in
your response. Having no ethical considerations is not
an option.
Guided Response: Take on the role of fellow teacher,
building or district/regional administrator, parent, IRB,
or other role. Respond to at least two of your
classmates, and imagine you are listening to your co-
worker explain via their initial post the ethical issues
they need to be aware of and/or address when framing
their action research study. What insight can you
provide based on what you learned from your study of
ethical rules and procedures in research involving

human subjects? What did they miss? How might they
handle a potentially sticky ethical concern? *It is
expected you follow up by the last day of the week to
provide a secondary response to any comments or
questions your instructor may have provided. This is
part of the grading criteria as a demonstration of critical
thinking.

ASH EDU 671 Week 4 DQ 1 Data Analysis Practice
ash/edu-671-week-4-dq-1-data-analysis-practice
EDU 671 Week 4 DQ 1 Data Analysis Practice
Mills (2014) shares in Chapter 6, “the interpretation of
qualitative data is the researcher’s attempt to find
meaning, to answer the ‘So what?’ in terms of the
implications of the study’s findings” (p. 133). He adds
that data analysis and interpretation is “. . . a process of
digesting the contents of your qualitative data and
finding related threads in it” (133).
Analyze the middle school scenario, Flipped Math
Class. Explain your process for coding and categorizing
the qualitative data. What patterns and/or themes did
you discover? Answer the “So What” for your team of

teacher-researchers based on your findings. What steps
does your team need to take to address these issues
before implementing the innovation of a flipped
classroom?
Pages 138-139 in Action Research: A Guide for the
Teacher Researcher provide an example of coding from
a transcript.
Guided Response: Consider the analysis and
interpretation of at least two of your classmates. Did
you find similar themes or patterns? Examine their
interpretation of the data. Did they discover something
you didn’t? Is there something you think is lacking in
their interpretation? Provide specific feedback by
asking a probing question and/or providing your
interpretation of their analysis and next steps. *It is
expected you follow-up by the last day of the week to
provide a secondary response to any comments or
thinking.

considerations, some smaller/larger than others.
e. How you plan on collecting data
o Both quantitative and qualitative?
Guided Response: Read and respond to at least two
classmates and provide specific, constructive feedback
that may help guide them in their process and present
their formal assignment with clarity, accuracy, and
depth. What questions are you left with as you read
their plan? What suggestions can you make to perhaps,
give a different perspective? *It is expected you follow-
up by the last day of the week to provide a secondary

The purpose of this assignment is for you to review a
FINISHED action research report showing the entire
planning process and allowing you to put together
visibly, what a finished action research proposal
consists of including the planning stage you are
responsible for in this course as well as the results
portion of the report for which you will be responsible
for in EDU675 (MAED students). Having this exposure to
a finished report should help you make connections
with what you’ve been planning as well as what you will

be actually implementing through your proposed
intervention/innovation once you begin EDU675.
According to Mills (2014), “To evaluate a research study
competently, you must have knowledge of each
component of the research process” (p. 215). For this
assignment, you will consider all that you have learned
and practiced up to this point in our course and apply
criteria for evaluating action research to the following:
Sample Action Research Report 1: Effect of Technology

truths, difficulty finding a forum to share what you have

learned, lack of time for action research endeavors,
unsupportive administration, other)?
Describe how you would apply what you have learned
regarding the challenges of implementing educational
change to overcome potential obstacles that you may
encounter in taking action.
