ABSTRACT A common misperception of many upon hearing the word “research” is of a lofty scientist hidden away in his/her academic ivory tower conducting complex experiments with hapless laboratory subjects, formulating grand theories explaining life in an arcane scientific language accessible to only a few select academicians. This is, of course, a myth. Armed with a few basic research tools and basic knowledge of the research paradigm, it is possible for most teachers to conduct research in their classroom. In this presentation the audience will be guided through the basic steps of conducting action research. First, narrowing the research question (what you want to study), then doing background reading, followed by creating a simple research design to investigate the subject matter of interest, as well as the basics of data analyses, and if time permits, reporting the results. The presentation will conclude with an open forum to discuss possible research topics. PRESENTER
