*AINET International Conference 2017 Nagpur.
Striking Points from today's AINET Conference,Nagpur.*
It
was the first day of AINET International teacher research conference
,Nagpur today. We all selected SARPS and TAG coordinators along with
*Radhika ma'am* gathered at the main hall of the G.S. College of
Commerce and Economics Nagpur for the inaugural session and Opening
Plenary-Dr Richard Smith- " *Teacher-Research-Why,Where and What
kind(s)*?" We all are really enlightened by this session.
After the Tea break, we had a workshop round- 1where four
presentation topics were given. Myself Sameer Deode and Mr.
Sandip Patil(TAG Coordinator)* decided to go for the topic- Using Action
Research for Professional Development by *Clover Bolton*, who defined
what the action plan is 1) It's practical issues/real world concerns.
2)Change for Improvement. 3) it's cyclical and Practitioner
participation.
Action Research is *NOT*
-Rigorous conformation to scientific protocols.
-Endless hours of library research.
-Someone telling you what is wrong with your teaching.
-You setting out to change the world.
She explained the types of Action Research
*1.Individual Action Research*
*2. Collaborative Action Research*
*3.School wide Action Research*
*4. District wide Action Research*
She mentioned action research steps which are cyclical
*Plan-
Act- Analyze- Conclude*. She also noticed us about the formulating
questions and *SMART* goals and Data Collection-qualitative and
quantitative. Action Research is a cycle of continuous improvement and
growth mindset. She flashed some sample action research questions as
well.we are really happy with this session. After lunch break we all sat
for the paper presentation of different participants from different
countries and at the long run we gathered in the main hall for the day's
last plenary session-AARMS mentors which was interactive. then we all
left for Le Meridien.
It's extremely enriching and exciting experience for me to be a part of this august event.
Today, everything jelled.
