Action Research: What I have learned
One of the most important things I have learned in this action research section is that you have to stop, take a breath, and analyze what is going on. As a teacher, coach, and student, time is always the first thing that I run out of. With tutorials, class, athletics, practice, games, family time, and the other duties that I have to attend to, I am always searching for more time. It is extremely hard to analyze what I need to do for myself. Also, it is hard for a person to analyze oneself in an unbiased way. There is a reason that I do things the way that I do. I believe that it works best for me and it is also what I am used. I know that in order to be successful in my action research project I will have to ask hard questions and get out of my comfort zone. I might have to do something different for a change. Even so, through my readings of the text this week i believe that the action research process is a very valuable one and will help me grow as a person and an aspiring administrator. I am looking forward to my research on student motivation and how it has been affected by the STAAR test. I hope that my results will be helpful to me as a teacher and in the future as an administrator.
