| Description |
Actions that involve ongoing change in education curricula, programs, or institutions are often the subject of inquiry. Reformers may wish to track the progress of their reform efforts without interrupting the process of reform. Teachers may wish to carry on some experiment in their classrooms while at the same time inquiring systematically about its effects. Students learn methods on inquiry and applicable standards of confirmation. Students explore such issues in the context of actual case studies-small or larger-of action research projects. Where possible, they conduct their own action research or otherwise help others to do so. |
