I'm really thankful for this guiding grid, that made me narrow up the focus and find (after more than one change...) the Driving Question for my Action Research. I shared my reflections with a colleague, with whom I'm collaborating for different issues. She agrees in carrying out together the Action Research, crossing our observations, managing group works, providing support. Is there anybody else who is collaborating with a colleague ?

Regarding  the correlation between teacher stress and their use of classroom management techniques, I believe one way of looking at it would be to collect information that teachers consider to be effective and ineffective in the classroom. In my teacher community, we often times discuss the fact that the current regulation in force has no effects on student behaviour and we stumble upon what would actually positively impact students' behaviour. Perhaps this AR will shed some light into this. I am planning on asking for both teachers' input on this, as well as students' and parents'.

Problem: How to encourage students to take an interest in computer science?

Perhaps this is not a problem for all IT teachers, but in my case, perhaps because the schools where I teach are still a bit out of the city centers or more developed, few students really want to develop their computer science knowledge beyond an initial interest that includes some examples of code.
To develop reasoning, and use the concepts of computing, there is a lot of resistance, with the exception of a few cases.

Why does this happen?

- Lack of preparation or guidelines for teachers to teach in these areas
Schools are overloaded with curriculum, and students' schedules are too full, leaving little time for other activities
- Lack of parental encouragement/awareness at home or at school
- Lack of promotion of this type of action with tournaments and other types of activities/actions
- It is an activity that requires time, material and willingness to learn, although it may have a playful aspect, it is not as captivating as other activities or sports
- This area is considered advanced and only for higher level students

Possible actions:

- Promote activities among students that use these concepts
- Use these concepts in an interdisciplinary way
- Put time in the students' schedules for activities that also include these cases
- Make presentations by having the students themselves present activities in this area

Research question:

Will proposing that students develop presentations on computer science increase their interest in the field?

Will connecting the classroom with real word issues through an eTwinning collaboration affect student engagement positively?

1. Identify the problem or area of interest
Students have great difficulty to explicitly explain their thoughts and express their emotionality
2. Why is the problem happening?

they are more comfortable in the virtual world

they don’t like face-to-face interaction

they are not able to decode symbols or use them to express their inner thoughts

3. Brainstorm possible actions

to represent an emotion using an image

to associate a color to a literary text

collaborative learning during face-to-face interaction

4. Write your research question
Does the use of digital storytelling, which integrate different skills,  promote the integration of new technologies in open, authentic and collaborative learning contexts?

My students have complex learning and physical needs. They are on a course in a large further education college but I want to increase their opportunity for mixing with students from across the college. Lunch time is a particular time when the students sit together but other students do not interact with them. I would like to set up a lunch time project to enable engagement and friendships to be made between my students and another faculty. The head of faculty for A Levels is very supportive of inclusion and so I am going to work with her to set up my project. I would like to try and monitor social communication and self- esteem and see if the social contact has a positive impact on both groups of students. Initially the idea is that my students with complex needs should gain confidence and a better self esteem from the social engagement but after researching I feel that it could actually benefit the A Level students as much, just in a different way. My question will be along the lines of:
Will a project to bring students with complex learning and physical needs into regular lunchtime social contact with A Level students improve social communication and/or self-esteem?

1. Identify the problem or area of interest (Talk it over with critical friends)
Students are not motivated to practice math
2. Why is the problem happening? (The “why” determines the action plan)
- bad work habits
- lack of motivation
- the society in which they move
3. Brainstorm possible actions
- talk with students
- give them a chance to see teaching from
- use some new method

Hi everybody. I share my reflection about my research question, wondering how good could be the effect of sharing with families the daily corrected school tasks.

My students lack motivation to learn a foreign language. They are addicted to watching TV series, movies and videos on YouTube so I think it would be great if they could also use these videos to learn vocabulary autonomously. I have thought that I would design a research plan that would try to answer the following question:

Does the use of subtitled multimodal input enhance autonomous vocabulary learning?

1.Identify the problem or area of interest
Students have difficulties in enjoying experiences, even learning ones, so getting low results

2.Why is the problem happening?
- lack of emotions and passions
- difficulties with an emotional engagement in learning/ experiences
-low interest and motivation in learning
-trend to skipping lessons
-not a proper concentration during testing
-difficulty in decoding the world around them

3.Brainstorm possible actions

-Creating a healing atmosphere, building a socio- emotional learning path, which is a satisfactory result for the students’ well being

-Helping students to learn to use a sensorial approach to learning
-Using a stress free assessment as a feedback
-To monitor attendance in lessons

4.Write your research question.
What is the impact of using digital storytelling for awakening the pleasure of learning and developing communicative skills in students with lack of interest, absence of emotions and passions, apathetic behaviour?

I confess I found it really hard to come up with (only) one research question. I always have lots of things I wish I knew more about, I could do more about or I want to know more about. Just me being me, I guess. Also, I have a huge problem, as I won’t have much time to implement this research (as I think it would deserve) as it collides with 2 Erasmus+ mobilities and Easter holidays in Portugal. So, I had to really narrow down my research and refrain myself from being ambitious, which is quite difficult for me, believe me. I’ll give it my best, though.

So, this is my research question – “How can I enhance students’ critical thinking skills and promote their civic participation in society while working on their language proficiency?” – which will be no more than a short study case. In the pdf document you have the steps I’ll try to follow.

I copy the table with my answers filled in it and I have a research question at the end. I want to also add some more questions such as "How can I improve my teaching practice so that my pupils can become active agents in the process of their own learning? What is the impact of integrating AR/VR technologies into my lesson on the students?" etc

Using the template was a good way to focus my thinking on what I actually wanted to research.  Moving from a general idea to something more concrete etc...I still need to tease out some of the finer details but using questioning and reflecting on what I actually wanted my research to answered allowed me to come to the following research question:
Will introducing different types of play in the Junior Infant class improve my students vocabulary skills?

My students have trouble writing in the L2. Some learners do not turn in any written homework. I believe they feel their English is not good enough for them to turn in a written piece in English. I think that I could assign group writing so students could help each other to produce one piece of writing collaboratively.
