EDSS 6304 Action Research for Social Studies Teacher Researchers

Action research places action at the center of research; its primary goal is to solve a problem that will lead to improvement in individual or organizational practice. Action research prioritizes "insider" status rather than assuming an outside, "detached" stance. Practitioners have used action research to answer questions about their community organizations, schools, and classrooms, as an assessment tool for intervention purposes. In this course, students will engage in action research, either in action or as a study of action research practices.
