My Learnings on Action Based Research

Administrative inquiry or action research is a systematic research of data and problem solving. Administrative inquiry requires administrators to ask questions on specific topics and search data on those topics to discuss and help lead to better decisions for successful solutions. Traditional research allows you to research topics and report findings from different sources. Action research differs from traditional research because it not only researches a topic, but it creates a plan and implementation of the topic. Action research allows you to put you questions and findings  into action, so that you will be better able to implement plans and findings on giving problems. It not only helps you look for solutions, but it allows you to act on making sure solutions to problems can be used.Action research is a way to reflect on questions, and collect data to make changes based on new understandings and findings. Action Research can be used in many ways to reach students achievement gaps, based on engagement and enrichment. Action Research can also be used to find ways to make school climate better by coming up with a plan to make sure that parents, teachers, and students are involved in creating a school climate that supports student achievement, by collecting survey data and proposing changes.
