Week 2 Reflection
Having completed the assigned coursework for Week 2, it has allowed me to reflect on new ideas and principles behind Action Research. First and foremost, action research in my view must be applicable. Does the research have any means to an end. Secondly, is the research practical? In viewing lectures and after reading the assigned materials, I found that my original research topic was neither. It was only something of interest to me. With that being said, I have changed my topic after discussion with my site-supervisor. The benefit must have direct ties to the students and the outcome of their education. These are the basic principles that I plan to employ utilizing Action Research.

I like your comments about research being applicatble and practical. It was also a learning experience for me to read how your original idea was of interest to you but you didn't feel it was applicable or practical based on your meeting with your supervisor. That to me shows that it is OK to find something interesting you would like to find out about but for actual action research you may have to re-think. Thanks!
