THE ACTION RESEARCH

SITUATION

Or rather hellip

HOW IT WORKED OUT IN ROOM 2 in 2009

8142019 L Hall ARP

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulll-hall-arp 219

INTRODUCING THESITUATION

Room 2 is a Year 3 - 4 class made up of 14students in a well resourced reasonably highdecile Yr 0 -8 school in rural Southland

The reason for implementing this actionresearch was because lower than desired

maths engagement and confidence in thestudents (and teacher) were bound to causeproblems further down the track

THE GRIM SITUATION

School Staff had identified Maths as an areaneeding PD and this was planned to beundertaken in 2009 with Averil Lee

Up to date activities for reinforcing mathsstrategies and knowledge in the classroomwere lacking

The school internet availability frequentlymet problems

The laptops available to children were oftenunable to access reliable and consistentinternet feeds

THE GRIM SITUATION (CONTrsquoD)

The availability of a data projector was anissue and that it was in the right place at theright time

The teacherrsquos own maths PD was from theark and although supported by a wonderfulteam knowledge and skill WERE an issue

Although a Mimio interactive system wasavailable the above lack of knowledge and(time) prevented its use to any real degree

THE REAL SITUATION

So hellip at the beginning of 2009 things did notlook good

A class brainstorm of internet sites that the

students were aware of and used for mathswas minimal

INTERVENTION IN THE SITUATION

Once this rather obvious area for actionresearch improvement was highlighted itwas decided that several things could bedone

1 Sit down and cry

2 Sit down and drink

3 Actually do something to fix the loomingmess

RECTIFYING THE SITUATION Averil came and worked with us

Averil came and played many activities with us that wecould use meaningfully with the children

A nice young man came to fix our network system andput everything together again making the internetreliable and easy to access

That same nice young man come to fix our laptops andmake them as reliable as the classroom desktopcomputers

8142019 L Hall ARP

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulll-hall-arp 1019

RECTIFYING THE SITUATION (CONTrsquoD)

Consistent and frequent pestering of the principaland PTA for a data projector paid off

The teacher went to 2 courses offered about

creating your own Wiki and did things at itespecially creating many links to fun and excitingwebsites

The teacher began to use the Mimio gradually but

purposefully as a tool to improve the childrenrsquoslearning and understandings

8142019 L Hall ARP

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulll-hall-arp 1119

RECTIFYING THE SITUATION

Maths Rotations included regular sessions towork on the Wiki

Rather than weep about the state of maths inRoom 2 we can now celebrate because hellip

The children and teacher like maths ndash a

questionnaire (and its answers) can attest tothat

I like maths more because hellip

It is more fun

It is fun

It is easier

It has new stuff and Mrs Hall is happier

We do more thingsIt is hard ndash I like hard

I learnt more and it is fun

I learn more and I get better so it gets easier

There are better activities later in the year

The Wiki is well used and even parents havehad a go

The Mimio is beginning life slowly butpurposefully as a tool to improve thechildrenrsquos learning and understandings

THE SITUATION AS IT STANDS

Many things including people andtechnology go together to make everyonehappy make learning better and even fun

Hopefully many of the components in placewill give students a better starting place for2010

That was my situation I have enjoyedhearing about yours Thanks

INTERVENTION IN THE SITUATION

Once this rather obvious area for actionresearch improvement was highlighted itwas decided that several things could bedone

1 Sit down and cry

2 Sit down and drink

3 Actually do something to fix the loomingmess

RECTIFYING THE SITUATION Averil came and worked with us

Averil came and played many activities with us that wecould use meaningfully with the children

A nice young man came to fix our network system andput everything together again making the internetreliable and easy to access

That same nice young man come to fix our laptops andmake them as reliable as the classroom desktopcomputers

RECTIFYING THE SITUATION (CONTrsquoD)

Consistent and frequent pestering of the principaland PTA for a data projector paid off

The teacher went to 2 courses offered about

creating your own Wiki and did things at itespecially creating many links to fun and excitingwebsites

The teacher began to use the Mimio gradually but

purposefully as a tool to improve the childrenrsquoslearning and understandings

RECTIFYING THE SITUATION

Maths Rotations included regular sessions towork on the Wiki

Rather than weep about the state of maths inRoom 2 we can now celebrate because hellip

The children and teacher like maths ndash a

questionnaire (and its answers) can attest tothat
