Strengthening Collective Efficacy Through Meaningful Collaboration, Elizabeth Becker
Strengthening Collective Efficacy Through Meaningful Collaboration, Elizabeth Becker
Master's Theses & Capstone Projects
The purpose of this action research project was to determine if there is a correlation between the implementation of structures and processes for meaningful collaboration and the level of collective efficacy in a professional learning community. A combination of the level of trust among the team and the dedication and prioritization of time were critically considered over a period of nearly two months. Data was collected through quantitative surveys and qualitative observations. Analysis of the data collected suggests the fourth grade team's collective efficacy was strengthened as structures and processes for meaningful collaboration were implemented.
