As an extension of the individual reflection activity, we are now proposing a valuable research method that can help a group of teachers come together to reflect and suggest possible improvement of their practice. This research method is call '''Action Research''' (AR). Take about 5 minutes to read the text below and discuss briefly as a group the questions below: | As an extension of the individual reflection activity, we are now proposing a valuable research method that can help a group of teachers come together to reflect and suggest possible improvement of their practice.

* ''''What is AR?'''' It is part of practice of a group of reflective teachers to think about their practices and seek improvement. It is a '''cycle''' of investigation, application / implementation, systematic reflection, evaluation (see diagram under 'Background Reading' below). An iterative process of data collection and analysis is integral to this kind of research, rather than linear. It is a ''critical'' process of reflection on past and present actions. It gathers evidence to support claims for future actions. | * ''''What is AR?'''' It is part of practice of a group of reflective teachers to think about their practices and seek improvement.

You will be delivering this presentation on another day (to be determined at a later date). You will use the remaining time to plan for this presentation. You should ensure that everyone gets to share their views and to plan for a presentation that will really represent the group’s shared vision of the professional learning that has taken place and the follow-ups next year. | {{activity|stgw| on preparing a presentation|15 }} As a final task in this unit (and the programme!), we would like you to work in a group of 3-4 participants to plan for a '''5 minutes''' presentation on the highlights of your learning journey in the OER4Schools programme.
