Evidence-Based Instructional Methods and Research: Driving Force

As you have learned through the reading of the Instructor Guidance and course sources, action research is a tool used to build upon EBP in the field of special education. Action research allows for educators to contribute to a pool of research, while continuing to teach and assess the effectiveness of the instruction. This week, we have begun a discussion on the importance of scholarly sources and identifying action research studies.

Initial Post: Post a two-paragraph initial response that addresses the following areas using the discussion board forum:

Mr. Franklin wants to do some research on some strategies that could be used to encourage classroom behavior management. He comes to you as the special education teacher for guidance on where to start exploring the current body of research before he starts his own study.

Using what you have learned through the Ashford University Library modules:

· In one paragraph, explain to Mr. Franklin what a scholarly search entails.

· Identify at least two resources for conducting scholarly searches.

· Provide information as to where he can find these scholarly searches.

· Compose a one-paragraph description of the steps of an action research study for Mr. Franklin.
