My professor suppose me have been watch the movies. It's not allow to use others movie review as references! I am sorry about this. And the sources are too much. I saw almost every paragraph have 2 references. My professor like us write what we think in o

Iteration 1: Statement of the Problem/ Discussion Topic
Plan
One of the most significant phases of action research revolve around outlining the things that needs to be carried out, when they will be conducted, and the procedure on how they will be done. Additionally, a plan can be acknowledged as a set of procedural activities involved in a project or a process of any particular kind. In other words, the ultimate arrangement of the sequence of events starting from the first activity to be carried out to the last project activity is what makes up a plan. One of the significance of the plan in any projects revolves around the fact that it is very crucial in aiding the research topic and the definition of the statement of the problem. In essence, the planning stage in this case will be very helpful in establishing a sequence of activities that will help in defining the problem of the statement or rather the concept of web development in e-commerce. Therefore, the set of activities that need to be planned in order to realize the objective of web development in e-commerce include the following:
· The timeline required to carry out each web development activity.
· The objectives and goals of the topic of research
· Determination of the field of research
· Expected results of the project
· Determination of the reliability and validity of the topic of research
· The necessary steps that will be followed
· The required resources and information sources regarding the research topics
In order to complete all the above-mentioned activities for this iteration, a timeframe of 12 hours was deemed enough in order to realize the outcome of the iteration. Additionally, the main area of concern revolved around the individuals that will be in charge of the web development program and what is needed to realize the objective of research topic.
Action
An action is acknowledged as the actual implementation or rather performance of the procedural activities that were identified during the planning stage. In other words, the actual materialization, implementation, or actualization of the identified activities is carried out during this phase. In other words, in this research, the research topic revolves around the web development in e-commerce. Some of the resources that were identified as relevant the research topic were stated as books, online sources, and journals that revolves around the topic of research. One of the ultimate objectives of this iteration was the statement of the problem or rather definition of the research topic. Therefore, the resources that were chosen were employed in the actualization of the research topic in terms of its definition using already existing literature reviews.
The action plan activities were as follows:
· Web development in e-commerce was identified as the topic of research
· Data collection resources were reviewed and the relevant information about web development in e-commerce was gathered and analyzed.
· The reference subject in this research was established as E-commerce
· All the data regarding E-commerce and the internet were collected from the identified journals, books, and online sources. In other words, this information was the foundation line for the concept of web development in e-commerce.
· A number of other web development applications that can be used in e-commerce were also identified.
In order to realize the overall objective of this research, these activities were very crucial. Additionally, the actualization of these activities took into consideration the necessary changes and modifications that may be made in the course of the project. For instance, cutting in on the identified concepts and methodologies depending on the nature of research direction was one key consideration in for the future.
Observe
In an action plan research, observation can as well be acknowledged as the learning phase since it focuses on gaining an insight on the previous issues developed in the former stages. Additionally, it focuses on determining whether the right procedure or the right things are being done. For instance, the observation stage tries as much as possible to establish whether the expected outcomes are being realized, the deviations from the expected outcome or if everything was explored in the action phase. In other words, its sole focus is learning and studying the procedures employed.
One of the most critical observation that were made revolved around the fact that the resources employed in exploration of the research topic were indeed sufficient for the whole action stage. Additionally, the main reason of performing the action phase iteration was realized and the statement of the problem was precisely identified. Furthermore, the concepts, methodologies, and web development applications in e-commerce were necessary in addressing the research topic. During the first phase of research, it can be said that the research work did not encounter any challenges since each every outcome was according to the expected research outcome.
Detailed monitoring, observation and recording ensures that the researcher to assess the implications of the research intervention or action phase and in the process facilitate the effectiveness of the proposed research changes. If any areas need change, then all the individuals involved in research should keep a journal where additional information and other research insights are kept regularly to guarantee the effectiveness of the project.
Reflect
One of the integral elements of an action research is a reflection. Additionally, the project innovations can be refined as the activity proceeds if the individuals taking part in the research meets up regularly. In other words, it is important to critically reflect on everything that has happened in the course of the observation phase and the action phase. For instance, it is important to analyze how effective were the changes made in the project? What were some of the challenges involved in the project? How can the project be improved?
One primary element that needed to be reflected upon revolved around the numerous challenges the researchers experienced .Additionally, it was established that information revolving around e-commerce and the internet was hard to come by because of the scattered nature of data in the resources that were chosen. In other words, the researchers had to gather information from so many sources, use different key search words. Moreover, another critical area as far as the resources were concerned was the fact that the concept of web development in e-commerce was presented using different notions and perspectives hence so much time was used to chosen the relevant information. Therefore, benchmarking practices were very influential in determining the effectiveness of the action research in developing the best web application in e-commerce.
