The Promise Action Research Can Hold
[ send me this paper ]
A 7 page paper discussing potential benefits of action research in education. In attempts to categorize and classify children and teachers, learning styles and behavior patterns, much of the focus of actually teaching children has been eclipsed by theory and mushrooming of cases in which learning disabilities have been diagnosed for any of those children not conforming to a specific teacher's teaching style or simply undergoing difficulties at home that make it difficult for the child to shift into a mode his teacher views as acceptable school behavior. Some researchers maintain that our psychology-based epistemology of human behavior fails to impart the whole story of its mechanism, and ultimately fails the entire educational system in achieving real classroom-based results. The paper discusses action research of training students to elicit positive attention from their teachers as a beginning point for diminishing the trend of labeling all non-conforming students as learning disabled. Bibliography lists 15 sources.
