Detailed Action Research Steps

1. PLAN
   1. Identify a problem or an innovation- create a research question that focuses on one strategy or innovation
   2. Develop a plan of action -Design a plan of action that will allow you to test your hypothesis
      1. A higher order question (not yes/no)
      2. Use common language not jargon

• Be concise

1. Be meaningful
2. Don’t have an answer yet

1. Gather preliminary data about the problem (Literature Review)
2. Interpret the data – analyze and identify major themes

2. ACT ON EVIDENCE
   1. Create an hypothesis (What is your educated guess about the outcome of the new practice or innovation?
   2. Alter only one variable
   3. Make the one change
3. OBSERVE
   1. Collect data and Analyze your results (post-data collection)
      1. What were the effects of the intervention?
      2. Has improvement occurred?

• What evidence do you have to support your conclusion?

4. REFLECT ON THE PROCESS/ITERATION
   1. What additional questions were raised by the data?
   2. Plan for additional improvements, revisions, and next steps.
   3. Start over from the point of the outcome…
