Collect TAKS data in the area of math from 2009-2010 and 2010-2011 school year. | myself
| August 2011
| TAKS reports
| Complete when improvement of 20 students struggling in math over a two year per is analyzed for trends and improvement.

| Myself | May 2012
| TAKS reports
| Completed when improvement of 20 students struggling in math over a two year period is finished. |
| Conduct a survey among 7 teachers to know their opinions on the effectiveness of the software. A group of at level students will be briefly interviewed as well. | Myself | August 2012
| A set of questions to be designed | Completed w hen teachers’ responses are analyzed |
| Read online information and research about ST Math software if available or request research made to software developers. | Myself | September 2011 | Articles, online resources, research from software developers if available. | Completed when the resources obtained are read and analyzed to determine if the software offers any educational benefit that would reflect on overall TAKS results.
|
| A school using the same software will be contacted to ask for feedback about the use of the software and its results in previous years. | myself | October 2011 | Identification of a school using the software | Feedback received will be compared to feedback received from teachers on campus.

Guillermo,
ReplyDeleteYour research topic of math achievement, and whether or not to utilize ST Math is interesting and timely. Because we all live in a 'high-stakes testing' world, research on how best to help students achieve success on state-mandated exams is crucial. Great job so far! Keep it up!

Thanks for the review of my action research plan. I really believe that a more serious approach need to be taken when an educational software is going to be bought and implemented as a school-wide tool. I hope that my research helps to make adjustments to the way educational software is used on campus.
