This is a North Central University PowerPoint presentation that analyze action research. This presentation is an example of an action research project within an educational setting. The design allows for self-reflective inquiries about teaching and learning practices, for example, in real-world settings and in real-time. Educators and administrators used the framework to get insights and knowledge about teaching methods. They usually use the information, for instance, to improve practices or to lend credence to current classroom policies (Creswell, 2012). The primary aim of the research is to effectively address specific problems or issues in applied settings (Mills, 2014). The PowerPoint presentation is designed in APA format, includes references, and is graded by an instructor.

Editor's Notes
- [Speaker notes]. Hello, everyone! I’m Orlanda Haynes. Thanks for joining the presentation on “Analyze Action Research.” This presentation is an example of an action research project within an educational setting. The design allows for self-reflective inquiries about teaching and learning practices, for example, in real-world settings and in real-time. Educators and administrators used the framework to get insights and knowledge about teaching methods. They usually use the information, for instance, to improve practices or to lend credence to current classroom policies (Creswell, 2012). The primary aim of the research is to effectively address specific problems or issues in applied settings (Mills, 2014). The discussion, today, includes when to use action research, primary types of action research, a sample action research project, a sample action research problem statement, the purpose of the research, Goals of the research the participants. data collection methods, and sharing of the results. Brochures, which include a references list, are located at the refreshment booth, and a session for questions, thoughts, and comments will follow the discussion. Now, let us begin.
- [Speaker notes]. When is it appropriate to use action research? In most instances, best practices recommend action research to address specific problems in applied settings, to create reflective opportunities about problems or issues, to offer means to staff development (e.g., education practitioners), and to improve work related practice, in part, by being participants.
- [Speaker notes]. In teaching and learning environments, practical research occurs when the aim is to improve teaching methods, to help students learn more effectively, and to create educational settings that are both proactive and content relevant. Usually, projects involve small-scaled and narrowly focused plans to address specific issues or problems (Creswell, 2012). On the other hand, participatory inquiries refer to plans designed to address social, organizational, or community problems. The primary purpose is to improve people’s lives by empowering them to create solutions that address specific problems or issues (Lodico, Spaulding, & Voegtle, 2010; Mills, 2014). For example, an issue of interest could be to discuss and to devise an effective plan to repeal “public schools’ text book publication laws” that allow the omission of important historical figures and cultural events.
- [Speaker notes]. Most schools rely on Internet access for all manners of teaching, learning, and communication needs (Prieger, 2013). Tomczyk and Kopecký (2016) noted that “ . . . Systematic use of . . . Electronic media begins . . . At the age of 7–11” (Abstract). They went on to say that “The very devices that are easily used . . . Become an open door for unscrupulous forces to steal information and seize control of machines for nefarious purposes. [The] problem is multi-faceted” . . . . Shillair, Tsai, Alhabash, LaRose, and Rifon (2015) conducted a study entitled “Online Safety Begins with You and Me: Convincing Internet Users to Protect Themselves.” Most online schools, colleges, and universities post messages on their websites about how students can protect themselves while engaging in cyber environments (Ng Chong, Kanagasundram, Yee Hway, Loong, & Teoh Kar, 2016; Prieger, 2013; Shillair et al., 2015; Tomczyk & Kopecký, 2016). Despite these measures, administrators at XYZ Middle school district (in 2016) reported an alarming increase in students complaints about the lack of internet security, especially password protection. To address the problem, in January of 2018, the board approved an action research plan that included a mandatory cyber security program (for both students and staff) and an annual district-wide survey to include all staff as well as students and parent.

- [Speak Notes] To emphasize the emerging threats of cyber communication, The University of Ottawa, Canada, published the article “The Importance of Passwords ”. They noted that students should not create common passwords, such as yellow123, because common colors joined by standard sequence of numbers are too easy for hackers.
- [Speak Notes] (Read slide text out-loud). Most students are familiar with junk mail. Unauthorized advertisements from companies and individuals via standard mail or other third party mail delivery services (Mazzarello, Fralick, & Clemons, 2016). Spam is its equivalent—via emails and text messaging. But how do they obtain your addresses? You might ask. Commercial mailing lists vendors are the most common source. But Internet software that is designed to identify and compile verifiable electronic addresses is also available. Research shows that phishing share similar characteristics as far as being unsolicited and the delivery source. However, the purpose is different. Most business communities label the act a scam, in part, because hackers and cyber thieves shop for personal information, such as passwords, credit cards, bank account, and social security numbers for the sole purpose of committing fraud (Mazzarello, Fralick, & Clemons, 2016;Tomczyk, & Kopecký, 2016).
- [Speaker notes]. (Read slide text out-loud). Students and staff will complete two online surveys (e.g., before and after the research) based on closed-ended questions, and a cyber security online activity followed by a standardized exam. Researchers will ask parents, via phone or email, to take part in the surveys, but the cyber security online activity will be optional but recommended. They will also issue passwords to all participants and follow standard research protocol for conducting research with human subjects.

- [Speak Notes] (Read the slide text out-loud and remind research participants that all information regarding the research project will be emailed to them two weeks prior to the start date.). Please follow this link: https://sos.fbi.gov./. Pay close attention to the instructions. After completing all sections, take the quiz. The game only allows for one attempt. For an addition resource, click the link below (Internet security tutorial): http://www.netsmartz.org/Presentations/Tweens
- [Speaker notes]. (Read the slide text out-load). The lead researcher should draft a research report and present the findings at XYZ school board meeting (time and date to be decided). In addition, he/she should give a certified copy to all board members two weeks prior to the meeting date. Please contact the research director for further guidance. The report should include the following: The Context/ Background Literature review Practice to Improve Description of action plan and implementation procedures Data collection methods Data analysis and results Reflection, implications, and recommendations References
- [Speaker notes]. This concludes the presentation. Let’s take a few moments for questions, thoughts, or comments.
