Abstract | The Department of Curriculum and Instruction at Central Missouri State University, Warrensburg, Missouri, has designed an experience for student teachers in elementary schools to prepare them for reflective thinking in their own classrooms. Student teachers conduct action research by reflecting on what they do in the classroom, identifying effective practices, and implementing positive change strategies. Action research papers (n=515) written over the past 4 years were examined to determine the breadth and variety of topics that student teachers are researching. A table lists the variety of concept areas researched, and 10 subsequent tables list topic areas in some of the major concept areas such as academic achievement, behavior management, mathematics, and reading. It is felt that the variety of research selections shows that the student teachers are finding issues in their own classrooms that interest them and they are willing to put forth the effort to find out alternative ways of approaching the issues. Individual faculty advisors may find a redundancy in the topics of their advisees, but this may be more faculty influence than student selection. The benefits of the process of action research are shown by comments subsequently made by the student teachers in their first years of teaching. Eleven tables, which make up most of the paper, detail the action research projects. Contains nine references. (JDD) |
