This has been a very vertiginous course. I have learned that administrative inquiry or action research is a systematic process in which an individual studies his or her own actions, roles, activities and performance with the objective to change or improve.
As I wrote before Action Research is closely tied to continuous improvement as allows the administrator to take action on a specific issue. Elliot (1988) describes action research as a continual set of spirals consisting of reflection and action.
I think that is the highlight of the course for me. I am way more engage in self-reflection not only for my project but also for any activity in and outside school.
Isn't it amazing how our minds broaden with every course! Learning about action research was like learning how to fly...the sky was the limit. I am always searching for new wonderings, which motivates me to learn and improve. Like you, I find myself constantly reflecting on many situations and issues ( professionally and personally).
