Apply action research to your teaching and become a more reflective practitioner

Through this course, you will become familiar with the process of classroom action research, and plan your own classroom-based investigation.

You will learn about how this cyclic process can help develop lasting improvement in your practice. Together with other participants, you will reflect on challenges that you face in your learning environment, and use computing education research to explore possible solutions.

As well as planning a research project, you’ll also look at how you can analyse the data that you collect. You’ll then consider how the results of your research should inform your future practice.
