It is always a challenge, if you have students in your class with different stages of development. Not ease to get together all the needs they express.

Was interesting and full of "surprises", some creative implementations have to be done in the way all went ok. Was challenging because pupils are challenging and we cant predict all, but we can do a good plan. A difficulty was that I had very few time with the pupils during week.

What worked well and what didn’t work during the implementation of your action research project?
As always happens, our job needs to deal with a limited time to carry on all the activities we plan to do.
Obviously, due to the Covid delay of some European mobilities, they got to overlay  with this action research that, at the beginning, was the only hope and post -emergency innovative practice.

What were the main challenges and how did you overcome them?

Nevertheless, we implemented the project.
The challenge is getting to the point:
now we need to rationalize and make data, observations, notes more "scientifically and pedagogically" tested.

I think we needed more time to implement our activities. Unfortunately this phase occurred at the same time of other activities in my school, such as an Erasmus Welcome and other activities for the students involved in my A.R. . So time, as almost all colleagues have said, was the main challenge. Neverthless I managed to do most of the activities planned, even if interrupted by other activities not planned for my A.R. and Easter holidays. Despite all this I'm very happy to have succeded in doing some planned activities that have motivated my students to improve some competences and to reflect about the results.

The time scheduled was not enough, it was a big effort to conduct the implementation within the due time limits

What were the main challenges and how did you overcome them?

I had to cut some part of the usual planned program in order to complete the A/R

Implementation process has been a challenge considering the 2 weeks holiday we had for Easter. I had done everything I had planned, but comprised most of the activities, but I am aware I could have managed better. All in all, I have succeeded in what I imagined to realize, but could have spread the activities in a larger amount of time!

Apart from the lack of time that was mentioned from the participants here, I would like to mention that my action research plan was based on the implementation of two eTwinning projects. Although the one is still going on and with a good impact to my pupils, the other one is not following the initial plans. Pupils are not coming at school and the other partners are more or less absent. I'm keeping notes everytime we do activities in the 1st one and material in the Twinspace.

I am in the same position as others. The main problem was the time. First of all, it would be very nice to have more time to implement all my actions as I had quite a lot of them. Personally, I also had a problem to reflect - it was my main constraint. Thanks to this course, I am aware of the fact that I personally need time to reflect actions and to talk to other teachers. Schools everywhere are very busy places :)

The implementation phase was challenging, yet very interesting. Time, as almost all colleagues have said, was the main challenge. was the biggest challenge. It was very encouraging that students were very enthusiastic in taking part and their parents too.

The implementation phase was challenging with the holidays but overall I am happy to say that I succeeded.

Time has been a major issue for our team also. We did not implement activities according to the initial schedule, but tried to be flexible and adapt. We will manage to finalize the activities and this is the important part, and also, we learned a few time-management skills.

# data[].attributes.body
The implementation phase as procedeed without particular problems except for a mandatory stop due to covid 19 (I got it...) that has postponed some of the time limits I had planned

# data[].attributes.body
The implementation phase was interesting. First I noticed things that I hadn't noticed before (e.g. attitude, concerns..).  I started to change, and so did some of my students. I also realized that I surely need a permanent critical friend! We had so many relieving talks!
Of course, I hadn't all the time needed, because of Easter holidays and the preparation in Kindergarten for Easter.. We still continue our work, mainly because children wish to do so!

# data[].attributes.body
My main challenge was time. I realized I needed more time with my students to implement all activities and with Easter Holidays I lost more than a week. Therefore, we are completing a few things this week.

# data[].attributes.body
The main challenge was finding time. I did not think before implementing it, that it would require that much time. I believe more time would enable to implement it more thoroughly. Anyway, I managed to do most of the activities planned.

# data[].attributes.body
Reading the posts I can see that TIME was our shared obstacle.  Easter holidays and other projects slowed our Action Research and some concrete steps were done later than planned. Actually, time management was one of the critical aspects also in students' group working. We had to analyse with some pupils their lack of time, in order to discover what were the possible constraints and how we can use  time in a better way. So this obstacle became an extra task in the Action Research process. Anyway it seems that students (as well as teachers)have found some strategies; one of them is  finding an agreement in sharing tasks and roles inside the group.   My colleague and me agreed in  sharing the tests and surveys preparation and the collection of data that is almost done.
Furthermore, the etherogeneus group of students, that was the starting point of our AR, needed direct and indirect support for differentiation, in order to keep motivation, engagement and learning improvement.

I could finish the implementation activities but I could not get detailed reflections as I imagined before. I was thinking of making interviews about the pre and post sessions but because of the time problem, I could not manage it. Luckily, I observed the process and took notes. So I plan to prepare my report with what I already have.

# data[].attributes.body
Time was main obstacle..we had national holidays then Easter holidays and new arrival students who needed extra support..I'm still trying to finish the collection of data.

I had everything planned but it was not easy to complete all the planned activities because of the Easter holidays. Time was the major challenge I had to overcome.

Everything is going well. Just time. I am very busy these days and I hardly find time to continue the research process.

# data[].attributes.body
The main constraint for me was time. I had 2 Erasmus+ mobilities and Easter break in Portugal during the time I was supposed to implement my action plan. Of course, when I devised the plan I was already aware of this, and so I came up with a small plan that would be feasible in the time span I had – 6 lessons. So, all I have is a very small study case conducted in one of my classes.

# data[].attributes.body
I am just finishing my research activities because we had an Easter holiday break of 2 weeks, so I need a little extra time to catch up and finish. I am really enjoying the project and it seems to be working well so I am excited about looking at my findings and reporting on the project. The students I am working with have been so enthusiastic and engaging so it has been really enjoyable for us all. I agree that the time scale was very tight and it would have been better to have had more time to implement the project.

# data[].attributes.body
As far as I am concerned, I must say that time could not be so well managed, as students were during test sessions and my implementation activities were not so appealing to them. Nevertheless, I could do 75% of the implementation activities.

# data[].attributes.body
The implementation phase went well, but same as other colleagues I had to rush everything and felt a lot of pressure implementing all the activities. I was absent from school for a week and then we had Easter holidays, so more time would definitely have contributed to a more relaxed and thorough implementation.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with my colleague Cristina Laiou in that time was a challenge. I had to plan the sessions very carefully as the Easter break was approaching and I only had a few days left. I think that I could have collected more data if I had had more time. On the other hand, the implementation worked well and I could do everything I had planned, but I must admit that I was lucky that none of the students got sick and no difficulties arised. They were very responsive to the treatment.

# data[].attributes.body
Mostly the challenge was finding time to implement the plan properly and obtain the necessary data for the analysis.
Due to time restrictions I tried to keep my expectations realistic in order to produce a tangible result.
When I have gained experience in carrying out action research, I will implement a more ambitious plan spanning out for a longer period of time.
