Action Research Project

Write a 6–9 page paper (in addition to the Appendix, Cover page, and References page) that assesses organizational practices from an internal action researcher’s perspective:

Unit 3 Action Research Project- Template will be included.  Along with Unit 2 Critical Mass Analysis for Reference.

2. Describe the scope and purpose of your project. 

3. Determine who the stakeholders are that are critical to the success of your project and how their roles relate to it. 

4. Justify how you made your initial appraisal of the prospects of doing your action research and involved others in defining what your project entails. 

5. Explain how you set expectations with those who would be impacted or involved as to what information would be needed, and state approximately when results will be available. 

6. Identify your plan for when, where, and from whom you will obtain your action research data. 

7. Assess how you have started to lay the groundwork for using the results of your research to make a difference. 

8. Include Appendix 1 that documents a Critical Mass Analysis (Grid + Negotiation Form) that the reader can use to better understand who the stakeholders are and at what level they are involved. (Note: Because this Appendix is mostly a table with information in its cells, it is not counted as part of the 6–9 pages required for this part of your project report.) 

9. Support your project with at least 3–5 references from quality academic sources that discuss your approach to your action research project.
