What is Action Research?
“Action research is a form of investigation designed for use by teachers to
attempt to solve problems and improve professional practices in their own
classrooms” (Parsons & Brown 2002)

Common Myths
![Page 5: PRACTICE MAKES RESEARCH](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062816/56813f9a550346895daa8a81/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Addressing the Myths
![Page 6: PRACTICE MAKES RESEARCH](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062816/56813f9a550346895daa8a81/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
I already know it works!
![Page 7: PRACTICE MAKES RESEARCH](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062816/56813f9a550346895daa8a81/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Define “works”
• For whom? For all your students? All classes?
• When?
• What if parents attack you on your method?

You want me to do MORE?!

Isn’t this just for the Ivory Tower?

Mathematics Education is Changing
• Keeping our jobs as professors has changed in Mathematics Education.
• We can’t publish theories in Mathematics Education without practice and evidence.
• My action research paper taught me to care.

What can and can’t research do?
• Jame Hiebert (1999) explained how research relates to NCTM Standards, and the same holds with CCSS.
![Page 18: PRACTICE MAKES RESEARCH](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062816/56813f9a550346895daa8a81/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Research Cannot…
• Determine standards for teaching.• Determine “best” teaching practices• Create new ideas• State whether CCSS is “good” or “bad” for
teaching.

Research Can…
• Influence the nature of standards• Document current situations• Document effectiveness of new ideas• Suggest explanations for success and failure
