Research Action Proposal
Complete Section Three: Solution Strategy of your Action Research Proposal.
Action goal(s)
Provide the goal(s) for the action plan that you are proposing and include a brief overview of the action plan that you have selected.
Example:
The goal of the action plan is to increase the effectiveness of regular classroom teachers in implementing accommodations and modifications for special education students. A three-prong intervention will be implemented to meet the goal, which includes teacher IEP training, teacher/paraprofessional training, and weekly collaboration time supported by the administration.
Selected solutions (Discuss the intervention/innovation that will be implemented.)
This is a detailed description of the steps you would take if you were to implement your intervention plan to address or alleviate the problem in your current setting.
This section is analogous to a recipe. It should be specific and detailed so that another researcher can read this section and duplicate the method with few questions.
For example, do not say “Teachers or trainers will take courses on methods to modify instruction for diverse learners.” Rather, give the reader specific information and guidelines on how you will accomplish the goal of this plan, with step-by-step instructions to easily replicate the process.
Incorporate ethical guidelines you may need to consider for your research study.
Include copies of specific material needed in an Appendix, such as consent forms or other materials. Remember you cannot be too specific in this section.
Calendar plan (select a format of your choice: calendar, info listed by the week in a Word doc, etc.)
Include a week-by-week, operational calendar plan.
Include specific directions on how you would implement each component of your action research study.
Remember to give the reader the following information:
When the study would begin
Who would be involved
At what points specific aspects such as obtaining permission, data analysis, etc. of your plan should occur
The duration of each component of your plan
How often and when you would analyze results
To whom would findings be presented and how?
Remember: Use APA guidelines. Always include a title page, an introduction and a conclusion. Please review the faculty feedback form and the sample paper that I have attached to assist you in completing the assignment. The sample paper is provided merely as a guide for those students who feel that they need it. Please use your own words.
Submit your assignment.
