"Research is creating new knowledge."
-Neil armstrong
ECI 523: Teacher as a Researcher has taught me the importance of action research and how to properly complete action research in a classroom setting. As educators we are researchers, we are constantly doing research even when we are unaware of it. Throughout this course I learned how crucial analyzing data is. I learned that reflection is key to any research.
Reading motivation
My goals for my research were to find the reasons behind the lack of motivation, the interest and excitement for reading. I wanted to find ways in which I could incorporate technology to help increase student reading motivation. Through my research I learned to look deeper; the answers worth finding are never at the surface. Independent reading is crucial, it is time that cannot be wasted. Students need to spend time in text. When you give students the right freedoms and responsibilities they can produce amazing things. Faith produces confidence; if I believe in my students they will see that and be affected by it.
As we push and prepare our students for the 21st century, we have to keep up with the latest technology and include it in our classrooms.
