WK 2 Action Research Reflection

This week I learned that action research topics are born out of several "passions" that drive school leaders to improve aspects of their practices. These wonderings are usually "emerge from one's own experiences...real world observations, dilemmas, felt difficulties, and passions" (Dana, 2009, p. 30). These aspects of ones profession drive the processes of inquiry. Motivation to inquire are intrinsic because the curiosity is not abstract and detached from practical use.Often the benefits that result from effective action research are direct and are readily enjoyed by the inquirer and those who it involves.
