Impact of teaching an action research course.
Abstract
Action research, AR, can assist new and practicing teachers in their ability to be critical, reflective thinkers who make informed decisions about classroom practice. This paper describes a one-semester educational inquiry course taught at both a large public and a mid-sized private university.
