Context
This Action Research Paper is written during the student teaching experience. This capstone project that builds on the use of CUA's Conceptual Framework is completed by Early Childhood, Elementary, and Secondary Education candidates.
Purpose
This paper is designed to encourage candidates to integrate their field experience with their knowledge base in order to analyze their impact on their P-12 students. In addition candidates will demonstrate their ability to be reflective in problem-solving situations. Candidates identify and analyze a problematic situation and conduct a literature review to generate possible solution strategies. Student teachers also try out those research-based solutions strategies with their students. Finally candidates prepare a written summary report of their experience including a thorough analysis of pre and post P-12 student data collected. Candidates use the CUA Conceptual Framework to reflect upon their experiences and the lessons learned in this project. The process of this paper is also intended to promote an understanding of a teacher as a life long learner.
Assessor
The Action Research Paper is evaluated by the student teaching seminar instructor and CUA supervisor. Cooperating teachers are encouraged to provide feedback on the ARP also.
