I plan to study tracking one’s own progress in education for my seventh-grade language arts class, as this is certainly a goal that is worth researching because being an effective member of society requires people to be able to understand their strengths and areas of needed improvement to further embark upon their life goals. ]]> 2019-01-20 02:59:46 UTC https://padlet.com/escobar_amanda/5nx30q97u3hi/wish/322446592 Citations: escobar_amanda https://padlet.com/escobar_amanda/5nx30q97u3hi/wish/322446641 As stated in Ben Zander’s, The Art of Possibility, “Ordinarily, we equate accountability with blame and blamelessness, concepts from the world of measurement…Indeed, I lose any leverage I may have had, because there is nothing I can do about your mistakes—only about mine” (Zander, 2000, p. 142). ]]> 2019-01-20 03:00:57 UTC https://padlet.com/escobar_amanda/5nx30q97u3hi/wish/322446641 Citations: escobar_amanda https://padlet.com/escobar_amanda/5nx30q97u3hi/wish/322446757 Therefore, it should be considered to learn about research methods that can be tested in one’s own classroom, as each educator’s educational setting is unique and requires different accommodations to make their classroom work as best as possible. In an effort to conduct effective research, “...action research conducted in one’s own classroom/school is more likely to be persuasive and relevant and to offer findings expressed in ways that are meaningful for teachers themselves (Mills, 2018, p.13). ]]> 2019-01-20 03:03:45 UTC https://padlet.com/escobar_amanda/5nx30q97u3hi/wish/322446757 Citations: escobar_amanda https://padlet.com/escobar_amanda/5nx30q97u3hi/wish/322446835 Consequently, defining what one believes to be effective and ineffective regarding teaching can only be discovered through action research, “... conducted by people who want to do something to improve their own situation...Action researchers undertake a study because they want to know whether they can do something in a better way” (Sagor, 2014, p. 7). ]]> 2019-01-20 03:05:16 UTC https://padlet.com/escobar_amanda/5nx30q97u3hi/wish/322446835 Citations: escobar_amanda https://padlet.com/escobar_amanda/5nx30q97u3hi/wish/322446844 Most of the data collected when one performs an action research study is through quantitative and qualitative methods, as “numerical data... utilizing survey research, correlation research, causal-comparative research, experimental research, and single-subject research” is the best way for an educator to collect data in an effort to inform their teaching practices to positively benefit their students (Sagor, 2014, p. 8). ]]> 2019-01-20 03:05:33 UTC https://padlet.com/escobar_amanda/5nx30q97u3hi/wish/322446844 YouTube Video: Peer and Self Assessment.

Reflective Interviewing:
"The purpose of the reflective interview is to enable teachers to get in touch with those core issues of practice that matter most to them" (Sagor, 2014, p. 13).
2. Analytical Discourse: "Completing an analytical discourse allows the action research team to find out whether its members share an interest in a general topic" (Sagor, 2014, p. 15)
3. Graphic Representation: "After completing a team analysis of all the lines and arrows in the graphic representation, it should be clear where additional data are needed to make the graphic representation accurately reflect reality" (Sagor, 2014, p. 23)

Will both peer and self assessments improve students' ability to reflect upon their own learning as well as their peers? Furthermore, will students make the necessary changes needed to be successful learners?
2. What types of assessments will be the most effective to use in order to assist students in this reflective process?
3. How will my teaching strategies affect the research? In other words, will I have to use multiple instructional strategies to implement this process into the classroom? ]]> 2019-01-20 05:36:54 UTC https://padlet.com/escobar_amanda/5nx30q97u3hi/wish/322453733 The Goal of Peer and Self Assessment: escobar_amanda https://padlet.com/escobar_amanda/5nx30q97u3hi/wish/323052762 To have students develop a way of assessing their own learning through an evaluative process that works well for that particular student or group of students. A variety of assessments will be used and implemented with close teacher monitoring so that students can develop a system that works best for them on an individual and collaborative basis.

"The goal of action research is to enhance the lives of students and teachers through positive educational change...The routinization of instruction still suggests that as a reflective teacher, you will continue to collect data--to monitor the effects of your instruction on your students' perfromance amd attitude" (Mills, 2018, p. (218, 230).
