Action Research Part two

Action research is really something else! When our teacher said we'd never look at things the same way, she was right on. I learned more about creating surveys than I thought I would, especially about the wording of each question. It's not the easiest thing in the world to do, especially when they're created for analysis purposes. Sometimes I wonder if the takers of the survey will put as much thought into answering the questions as I did in making them. The answer to that will come when the participants take the surveys. It will be an interesting time, that's for sure.
The part I'm looking forward to is the actual carrying out of the research. I'm really glad we got this part over! I never realized how much preparation time it took to create the information necessary for actually carrying out a project! I'm thankful that we went through the process, though. I'll never think of it the same way again.
