Action Research Proposal: Expected Results From Proposed Study Draft
[WLOs: 1, 2] [CLOs: 5, 6]
Assignment Overview and Context
Last week you evaluated data collection, instruments, and procedures to inform your own action research proposal. As we discussed last week, knowing what data collection instruments and procedures to use to research issues in early childhood education are important to your outcome and should inform how you analyze your data. As you have planned your action research so far in this course, you have come to new understandings about your area of focus and the variables you intend to influence through your planned intervention and data collection technique. You will now report on your expected outcomes which explain your interpretation of your proposed intervention.
You will weigh in on whether you think your proposed study will change or improve in your area of study. It is okay to realize that your chosen intervention may not address your research question. If that is the case, please explain why this is the case. For more information, watch the ECE660 Week 5Links to an external site. video below.
