In Weeks 1 and 2, the focus of your assignment was your action research area of focus and your literature review. By now, you have received feedback from your instructor for your Week 1 assignment that you will use to make revisions and refinements to contribute to your Week 3 Action Research Proposal: Proposed Study or Research assignment. Feedback for your Week 2 assignment will be sent to you this week. Take a moment to carefully review the Week 3 assignment to understand your expectations for this week. To prepare you for this assignment, this discussion forum will provide an outlet for sharing the draft of your Action Research Proposal: Proposed Study and Research Draft and obtaining further formative feedback from your classmates and instructor.

Once you have reviewed your instructor’s feedback from the Week 1 assignment and have completed the weekly readings, make suggested revisions to your Action Research Proposal: Area of Focus. Combine that assignment with your Action Research Proposal: Literature Evaluation assignment from Week 2, and post in the discussion to share with your peers and instructor. If you have any particular area(s) that you are struggling with or need more feedback, please request for your Critical Friends to focus their feedback, perspectives, insights, and questions on that specified area. The sections of the action research introduction and literature review you should include are as follows:

• Context for the Proposed Study

• Purpose and Educational Significance

• Explanation of Problem

• Population

• One Research Question

• Locus of Control

One of the qualities of great leaders and professionals is to be open to and objective about feedback—this is something you will likely need to do in your own professional role, so getting used to seeking and considering feedback objectively is a critical skill for all professionals in any field. Remember that, when giving and receiving feedback, it is important to be objective and not take feedback personally. All feedback should be geared toward helping each other construct a quality action research proposal, support success, and encourage critical thinking about action research. Once you have thought critically about feedback you have received, if you disagree with it, that is okay. You can continue to respectfully engage in discussion and build understanding by asking questions and sharing insights and perspectives.

Write

In addition to sharing your Action Research Proposal draft, explain the following ethical considerations in a minimum of 100 words. You will expand on this in your Week 3 assignment.

• What steps will you take to protect your participants from harm?

• How will you protect your participants anonymity and confidentiality?
