Masters of Arts in Education Action Research Papers

This action research project focused on determining the effects peer-to-peer collaboration has on 8th-grade students in a middle school science classroom. The intervention took place over six weeks in two classrooms, whose learning models changed between hybrid and distance learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020-2021. For this study, researchers collected data through a pre and post-intervention science self-efficacy questionnaire and digital journal, and twice-weekly exit tickets.

Researchers concluded that this model is …

The goal of the project was to improve communication, teamwork, and efficiency of work-flow through the use of a standardized RN to NA hand-off delegation tool. A pre-implementation survey …
