Reflecting on my Action Research
This active research study not only increased my
students’ enthusiasm for learning ,but it also rekindled my excitement for teaching.
Initially , I was extremely apprehensive
and began to question the feasibility of the study. Once I began, however, I
found myself looking forward to the hectic pace and the commotion that resulted
in a positive learning environment in my classroom.
After completion of this project, I would like to
continue to develop the idea of cooperative learning. My study has convinced me that there are many
benefits that can be gained when students work together. The exchange of
different ideas and strategies can be beneficial to all students. This exchange
of different strategies allows the students to look at problems through
another’s perspective. I will share these ideas from my findings in this action
project with other teachers who are interested in developing group learning. I found that it is important to pay attention
to which students are placed together in groups. Some students can work with
many other students, but there will always be those few who have difficulty
contributing to a group atmosphere. It is also very important to teach the students
how to work cooperatively together. When I start my teaching career, I would
like to spend a little more time showing students how to work cooperatively in
a group and learning how to help students who have trouble working in groups.
Students need to feel comfortable working with other members of the group. I am
interested in creating team building activities as a feasible way of creating a
positive learning environment.
it has been a great experience and I have benefited a lot from this.
