- Is there a connection between the data produced from your Cycles and the research reported in your Literature Review?
The data I collected in Cycle 1 and Cycle 2 has corresponded well with the research I’ve done for my Literature Review. In my Lit. Review I found that communities, students, and schools are all negatively impacted by school consolidation. To collect data, I have created a Ning site where educators can share their thoughts and opinions on school consolidation. This has allowed me to discuss consolidation with several different educators and conclude that they have seen the effects of consolidation and do not support it. I’ve found that educators and community members believe that small schools offer a significant beneficial impact on students, teachers, and the community.
- How will LMO impact your Action Research project?
LMO has impacted my Action Research because I have been able to review many articles,blogs, and videos related to educational learning systems, which has aided in my knowledge of the overall history of the education field. I have also had the chance to turn in my Literature Review and will soon have feedback on it in order to make the necessary changes before it is due.
- How important is online content delivery or personal learning environments to your Action Research project?
PLE’s have been important to my ARP because I have researched many different learning environments in order to choose the correct site to use for my project. I chose a Ning site because of how open and flexible it is. Each member is able to customize their page in order to fit with their needs, which is what a personal learning environment is all about! It is also important for the administrator (me, in this case) to be able to use online content delivery in order to teach members how to contact the Indiana governor and post important information about school consolidation.
