    This chapter discusses developing an action plan based on the results of an action research study. It involves formulating strategies for future implementation based on interpretations and conclusions drawn from the data analysis. Action plans may include designs for implementing new educational practices, reflecting on alternative approaches, or sharing results with other teachers. The chapter also provides an example of sample steps in an action plan, including applying what was learned, setting SMART goals, and presenting findings to other professionals to close the gap between research and practice.

    Chapter 7 Development stage - This stage consists primarily of taking the results of your data analysis, your

    interpretations of those results, and the final conclusions drawn from the interpretations and formulating
    a plan of action for the future.
     Consist of strategies for future implementation of the treatments, interventions, revisions and
    improvements to your instructional methods, and other items that were incorporated into
    your study and may consist of designs and proposals for future action research cycles or
    perhaps a combination of both.
    Action plans may consist of brief statements or simple descriptions about the implementation of a new
    educational practice; a plan to reflect on alternative approaches to addressing the problem; a plan to
    share what you have learned with others interested in the topic, such as other teachers, administrators,
    boards of education, or other schools or districts; or any other “next steps” you might take 

     A plan, a program, or an instructional method is found to be effective.

    Figure 7.1 Sample Steps


     Individual , Team, or School

     Did I really ask what I wanted to ask?


     Was I able to sufficiently answer my research questions?
     Might it be necessary for me to change the questions for the next cycle of my research and data
    collection?

    Chapter 8 Writing a research report will provide you with feedback


    Chapter 9 ot only does sharing the results of teacher-led action research
    projects with members of the teaching profession help narrow the
    gap between theory/research and practice; it also provides the
    practitioner-researcher with the opportunity to gain additional
    insight into the topic under investigation, as well as into the
    research process itself 

    In addition, given that you yourself believed, at the outset of your


    study, that the topic you had decided to investigate was an
    important one and in fact worthy of studying, in all likelihood there
    are other teachers, administrators, counselors, and so on who
    would feel the same way and would also be interested in your
    findings. This act of sharing—and, in fact, celebrating—the findings
    of your action research can be a very satisfying and rewarding
    professional experience

    By Day 1 of Week 7
     Post the visual representation of your findings to the Discussion Board. Include in your
    post responses to the following:
    o How might you apply what you have learned in your visual representation and in this course to
    the next research cycle of your Personal Action Research Plan?
    o What SMART goals do you have for moving your professional practice forward?
    Completing my data collection for my action research has helped me answer my research
    question of does giving students choice on the images they use for various assignments in
    Photoshop impact their Photoshop posttest scores? The data I collected for this project indicates
    that giving students choice can have a positive effect on student’s posttest scores. The graphic
    visual provided shows an increase in the average score for both formative assignments and for
    the posttest for the experimental group. After completing data collection and seeing the positive
    effect that giving students choice had on academic performance has inspired me to think about
    my course of action moving forward. According to Mertler (2020) action plans can be statements
    or descriptions about implementing a particular practice or sharing findings. While my data does
    indicate that giving students a choice in images they use for various photoshop assignments can
    positively affect their posttest scores, I would like to study this topic further by applying it to
    other units of study and see if giving students choice has a positive effect on their posttest
    performance. According to Lindeman (2018), giving students choice in the classroom can help
    create an authentic learning experience that adds excitement and increases engagement. I am
    interested to study student choice in my Digital Media course to see if these findings can exist in
    my content area.
    My action plan is to implement student choice for all assignments that lead up to the posttests in
    my Digital Media class for the 2021 semester. I will do this by modifying assignments to give
    students their choice in what images, audio files, clips they use. Next, I will collect data on
    students’ formative assessments scores throughout each learning unit and collect their posttest
    scores. I will use this data to determine if giving students choice shows any increase in academic
    achievement. If this trend continues I will look to present my findings to my school at a faculty
    meeting.

    SMART Goal 1:
    By May 31, 2021 I will give all of my Digital Media class choice in what creations they create
    for each formative assignment. I will grade students work and compare it to previous semester
    students to see if there is any growth. I will also journal about each class period to include
    another form of data collection. I will discuss my findings each week with my PLC.

    SMART Goal 2:
    By October 1, 2021 my PLC and I will give a presentation to my school about our findings from
    the action research project. We will present at a faculty meeting and will include the visual data
    from our study to show teachers. We will explain our findings, discuss trends that we found, as
    well as challenges. I will set up a meeting with my principal to discuss presenting our findings
    and also setup a follow-up meeting to discuss how the presentation went.
