Think about what will work best for you and your research
Who? What? How?
(Diana, 2011)
(Lee et. al., 2014)
Step 4: Analyze the Data
This looks different depending on your action research. This could
include:
o Scoring surveys
o Listening to and transcribing interviews
o Examining Scores
Find Themes, issues or issues within the Data!
While analyzing the data, go back to the driving question. This helps
teachers stay focused on the main reason for this research
Ask these questions while you research:
o What is this data trying to tell us?
(Diana, 2011)
o Why do you think the data turned out this way? (Lee et. al., 2014)
Step 5: Share Findings!
Sharing is Caring!
Think of the following questions as you find ways to share your findings:
o What should my next steps be? What action plan can I create in order to change my
classroom for the better?
o Who is my audience? Who would best benefit from my findings?
o Can my findings help improve my school?
o If I did not do so during my action research, what researcher/college professor could I
share my findings with?
o Could I get my research published?
o What organizations can I become a part of to help me use my research to think of
future action plans or research questions to expand what I have already done?
(Lee, Sachs & Wheeler, 2014)
