STEPWISE Action Research
To continuously improve teaching approaches like STEPWISE, we use collaborative action research (CAR); e.g., with cooperation among many ‘stakeholders.’ In doing so, we typically focus on possible ’cause –> result’ relationships like those here and here. For example, in the video at right/below, a teacher describes his ongoing reflective practice for teaching about actor-network theory, a key concept used in STEPWISE. Some general results of our action research – including for teacher & student outcomes and for our research purposes – are summarized below and here. If you would like to learn more about and/or become involved in our CAR, write to me at: larry.bencze@utoronto.ca.
