My Action research began with a unit concerning Logic. My control group for the first unit was Period 6, while my experimental group was periods 5 and 7. So far, students have taken pre and post tests, as well as pre and post surveys for the Unit. I have graded the tests and input all day, including the surveys, into Excel.
I have been keeping daily logs of both period’s journal entries and keeping track of responses from the students. With the completion of the unit, I have noticed that periods 5 and 7 did appear (according to class averages and percentage of increase from pre to post test), but it is too early to make any assumptions. I have been keeping a daily journal with my thoughts during the journals and after reading the journals.
Overall, my Action Research is going very well and I have been keeping up with inputting data. I feel that the journals are a great assessment technique and help me to get to know the students better. I feel that they are something I will strongly consider using in my own classroom.
