Develop at least two possible action-oriented, outcome
based research questions for your study that are based
on your journal article review (during Week Two) and

Share the survey you developed in Week Two with your
team members by Day 1 of Week Three.
Throughout the week Critique each others’ surveys for
the following:
· Clarity of directions and questions
· Logical sequence of questions
· Clarity of response categories

· Evidence of bias or hidden agendas
· Over generalizations of questions and/or the
response format
· Ease of navigating the survey
· Relevance for intended audience
Revise your survey based on feedback from the team
and your own reflection.
Create a template as a team that summarizes the results
of the team’s critiques to submit to the instructor.
Submit the surveys and survey critiques along with the
template.

You are the principal of a large urban high school and
wish to do a parent survey to determine how parents
feel about same-sex classes. Your budget does not allow
you to send out surveys to all parents. You are
considering one of two procedures. Please critique each
procedure for its likelihood of getting good data that will
adequately represent the entire population of parents of
your students.
Send out a paper survey in the US mail complete with a
returned self-addressed and stamped envelope for its
return. Send it to the home address of every 10th parent
on a listing of all parents in the district.

Use simple random sampling procedures to select one
half of the parents on a listing of email addresses that
about 3/4th of parents have provided you.

You have a new child in your school who is displaying
very unusual and very varied behavior patterns. You
determine to do a case study on the child to document
the various behaviors as well as to try to help you
understand the child’s motivations for the behaviors.
Your data collection will include classroom, lunchroom,
and playground observations; interviews with a variety
of school personnel (classroom teachers, psychologist,
janitor), and a review of the document sent from the last
2 schools this child attended. Which form of data
collection is likely to produce the most useful data?
Explain your answer.

Study
Resource: Internet
Peruse the Internet and find an action research case
study on an educational issue that interests you. Bring
the case study to your learning team meeting.
Review the studies as a team and select one.

Reflect on the study and theorize the following
information:
· Purpose of the study
· Description of the problem
· The role of the writer or writers. The methodology
used in the study
· The selected solutions for the problem
· The results of the actions taken
· Next steps that should be taken
Critique the study and respond to the following
questions:
· What important information about the participants
in this study have you learned?
· What important information comes from this
study?
· How could this study generalize to other settings,
such as an organization or a corporation?

Create at least two research questions that might follow
from the findings of this study.
Submit a 5 to 7 minute slideshow (Powerpoint)
addressing the above points.

Your action research project contrasts the learning gain
of students in three 4th grade classrooms (your
classroom, Ms. Smith’s classroom, and Mr. Brown’s
classroom – Smith and Brown are collaborators in the
study). Your outcome measures include an increase on
average math gains and an increase in self-confidence
over a 6-week module using different teaching methods.
Develop a procedure for data collection.

Your action research project was designed to collect
pretest , interim (at the end of 6 weeks), and posttest
data to determine whether playing soft music during
study time in a math classroom increased time-on-task
and math scores on teacher constructed tests. Two
sections of Mr. Jones’ classes were used. Classroom A
heard soft music over a 6 week time frame and
Classroom B did not. In the next 6 week time frame,
Classroom B heard soft music over a 6 week time frame
and Classroom A did not. How might these data be used
to document success toward these two outcomes:

(a) Twenty percent of students will increase their time
on task when music is heard during study time and (b)
students, on average, will increase their math test scores
by 5 points when music is heard during study time.

school-wide action research project designed to reduce
bullying at your school. The board insisted that the
results be widely disseminated. Your project was highly
successful and you are pleased to ‘spread the word’.

Visit the Kelsey Elementary School in the Virtual School
Portal, located in the left panel of the student website.
Open the Initial (Pre-Research) Classroom Data and
then complete the following activities:
· Determine the number of boys and girls in the class
and create a bar graph or pie chart to display the
information.

· Calculate the mean, median, and mode for the Math,
Reading, and Writing report card grades for the class.
Determine if there is or is not a normal distribution for
the Math, Reading, and Writing report card grades.
· Create a scatterplot diagram illustrating the
Reading scores for the class.
· Analyze the purpose of the descriptive statistics
used.
Write a sentence that describes the relationship
between student absences and Math grades.
