This weeks assignments focused a lot on developing an action research question. The way it did this was good, it made you look into several different areas, or nine "Wonderings" as they are called (Dana, 2009). This was good for me, as it got me opened up to quite a few more areas and topics than I had originally thought about. I didn't really think the video interviews were extremely beneficial. I thought they jumped around quite a bit and didn't really explain what it was they were talking about. Having the questions they were asked may have helped.
After meeting with my site supervisor, I developed my action research question. What is the impact and success of double
blocking algebra 1 classes for students who failed their 8th grade
math STAAR?
This is something our school has done for two years now. It seems successful, but no real comparisons have been made to this point. Additionally, with it I plan on looking for trends and see if this program has had an impact on those trends. I will have to look at students from both years and look back into not only their 8th grade scores, but also their 7th grade scores.
