Conversation 8 - Learning outcomes

Learning Outcomes

By the end of this unit you should be able to
•    Reveal new insights into your area of study
•    Reveal new insights into the process of action enquiry for school improvement.

This section is most important to claim for learning and for your new perspectives. In this account you might consider.
•    Compare what you know now to your account in your autobiography.
•    Compare what you know now to what was revealed by your literature review.
•    Review what you have learned about action research for school improvement purposes.

1.    What new perspectives have you developed about the focus of your enquiry?
2.    How has or will your practice changed?
3.    To what extent are these outcomes surprising to you and why?
4.    What have your learned about research and dissemination?
5.    What have you learned about the process of change and improvement?


Your emphasis must be not on what you have learned for yourself but on what your research has revealed for other researchers and practitioners. You should emphasise what can be generalised to other schools and teachers. You might want to return to your original conceptual model and revise it.

Tell us here what you have learned that might be of interest to others:-
