Learning Log

What?

We learned about different types of research that we might encounter or be a part of as teachers.

So What?

It is important to us because we have to decipher things that we see in the media or studies that we are given and decide if the information is true, whether it has the correct conclusion, or maybe if it is biased.

Now What?

I can definitely use what we have learned when i am a teacher. We learned about action research which is a way for a teacher to conduct their own research. We can put our observations together to try and reach a conclusion about maybe the behavior of a student or if our teaching methods are having the desired result. I will also be able to use this information right now because as i continue through this program and through this semester i am going to see educational studies and now i will understand what type of study it is and will be able to make a decision about what I think of it and how relevant it will be for me.
