Evidence 1:

Rationale 1: I did my action research on online assignment submission. It was a study that I completed over the month of November as a part of my Action Research course. I wanted to see if allowing students to submit their work online rather than traditionally would improve the amount of work handed in. This research was done in Computer Multimedia 1 class. It is open to students in grades 9-12. This research showed that I am able to evaluate how the effects of a lesson or activity, then, based on my reflection make the proper changes to it making it more successful. Students then will have a better chance of succeeding because I have evaluated how well the lesson or activity works, and made changes to ensure success.

KSD: 9.K.1 The teacher understands methods of inquiry that provide him/her with a variety of self-assessment and problem-solving strategies for reflecting on his/her practice, its influences on students’ growth and learning, and the complex interactions between them. I was able to make conclusions about my study and the effect of online assignment submission on students. Based on my findings I believe it has a place in my classroom, however it cannot be the only method of assignment submission. I made these conclusions by evaluating students’ success rate as well as their opinion on the matter.  9.S.2 The teacher uses classroom observation, information about students, cultural, social, and philosophical frameworks, and research as sources for evaluating the outcomes of teaching and learning and as a basis for reflecting on and revising practice. An individual general student information survey was used to provide me information about each student. These qualitative results were taken into consideration when concluding my study, as well as the further used of online submission.  9.D.2 The teacher is committed to reflection, assessment, and learning as an ongoing process. I believe my reflection on the success of this study will shape my future classes use of online assignment submission. I believe it must always be reflected on and continually assessed.
