The questions posed and the findings reported will contribute to the literature on science teaching and learning. Throughout academia, action research is being endorsed as an effective means to change classroom practice. Moreover, it serves as a bridge to link research and practice. This bridge allows practitioners to use and value research by being a part of the process. Program as a wonderful example of how we can achieve real reform in science classrooms throughout the Southeast as well as the nation.
Action research is an excellent strategy for promoting systemic reform in science classrooms.
The findings and recommendations in this monograph should be an inspiration to all that are involved in the improvement of mathematics and science education. It is my hope that it will encourage others to consider action research as a viable means to implement teacher change.
