Follow-up activity

 

In our virtual learning environment (Moodle) a forum has been installed (My action research project). You may want to elaborate a bit more on the notes you have now been taking with regard to "A special problem" (see 8) and post the information there for discussion. I would be very interested in participating in this follow-up discussion.

The following format might be handy:

Assessment of the problem (see 8)
Envisaged solution(s) (see 9)
Appropriate data gathering techniques (see 10)
Involvement of others / Modes of dissemination (see 11)




Thank you for your partipation! - Arnold
