DURATION OF COURSE 1 SEMESTER
NO. OF CREDITS 3
Rationale:
Effective management of school organization presupposes
a well-trained and educated worhforse to enable the
accomplishment of goals. Consequently, a course in action
research must be a vital component in the education
and training of school and classroom managers. Because
the solutions to the day-to-day problems of the school
require a systematic approach to problems solving, a
course designed to equip school and classroom managers
with research skills will enable them to do their jobs
better.
For years teachers and administrators have used trial
and error in the way they respond to school-based problems,
and as many have articulated, have had less than satisfactory
results. Action research looks at problems in a particular
setting, in this case the school, and provides the tool
to engender the professional growth and development
of school personnel in ways that facilitate improved
teaching and learning.
Course Objectives
1. To help students understand the nature and process
of action research
2. To equip students with new skills and methods, sharpening
their analytical powers and heightening self awareness
3. to enable students to find remedy for problems in
school administration thereby improving the teaching
learning situation.
