© 2013 TILA Action research “Teacher development means [...] becoming a student of learning, your own as well as that of others.” (Underhill, 1994: v.)

© 2013 TILA  Helps the teacher understand the complexity of teaching and learning processes.  Through action research teaching and learning processes become more visible & tangible.  AR stimulates reflection on teaching processes & leads to improvement. Action research (AR)

© 2013 TILA Action research Allows to detect problems & undertake action in the pedagogical context In order to introduce changes & innovations Resolve problemas & improve learning processes

© 2013 TILA Cycle Detect a problem Read Introduce changes Observe changes Gather data Improve teaching Share Reflect over pedagogical implications

© 2013 TILA Points to take into account - Avoid research questions that cannot be answered - Focus - Choose relevant topics related to your teaching - Share research ideas and results with other colleagues (social media, , face-to-face)

© 2013 TILA Example of a research topic: team work

© 2013 TILA Within this broad theme determine which specific aspect would you like to study  The creation of groups (quantity, level, likes, personality)?  Roles in the group: active / passive?  Effectivity of team work?  The effect of different tasks in team work?  The effect of the telecollaboration tool in team work?

Focus RQ I would like to analyse in detail the interaction of two groups of learners that carry out the same information gap task using two different tellecolaboration tools: a blog and Facebook. How intensive are learners engaged? Is there more interaction in one application than in the other? Do all learners participate? Is the information provided the same? Is there a link to motivation?

© 2013 TILA Research methodology Quantitative focus (analytical-nomological paradigm) Qualitative focus (exploratory-interpretative paradigm) RationalismRelativism Universally valid, objective truthsSubjective perspectives Depending on time & context Etic perspectiveEmic perspective

Sources of Data Recordings Surveys Interviews Reflection diaries Observations Notes Reflection Blog & Facebook posts TEACHER LEARNER Collect data

© 2013 TILA Research: two basic concepts Reliability  Is the research study replicable?  Use more than one data source > triangulation  Resort to more researchers Validity  Make sure you study that what you intend to study & not something else.

© 2013 TILA Active teachers in action research report to have experienced changes in the following fields  Beliefs, visions, attitudes: become aware of complexity of learning processes; become independent professionals (do not depend on external authorities).  Concepts: aware of issues related to the process of stimulating effective teaching: proposing action, monitoring and evaluating outcomes.  Teaching processes: dynamism in curriculum, teachers become more creative and resourceful in their teaching in order to stimulate meaningful learning.
