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.
