Action Research Step-by-Step: A Tool for Educators to Change Their Worlds
Catherine M. Brighton and Tonya R. Moon
Mr. Hartman is an honors-level and Advanced Placement (AP) science teacher in a diverse, urban high school where he has been teaching for the last 20 years. In recent years, Mr. Hartman has become increasingly more concerned with the lack of ethnic/cultural diversity in his advanced science classes. At the end of the fall semester, he raised the concern with his colleagues in the science department and found them to be equally puzzled about the situation and more than willing to help him investigate the problem more fully. Mr. Hartman and his team agreed to spend the spring semester in an action research inquiry seeking answers to the question: Why do students from minority cultures choose less advanced classes at Lake Hominy High School?
