esearch fuels innovation and efforts to increase outcome in multiple professional fields. Every professional field thrives on research and innovation. In order to establish a solid understanding of a field of study, professionals benefit from understanding the foundations of research and how research applies to practical applications in that field.

During this course, you will conduct an action research study. According to the text, successful action research follows a standard four stage process:

1. Clarifying vision and targets
2. Articulating theory
3. Collecting data and implementing action and
4. Reflecting on data and planning informed action (Sagor, 2017).

This assignment will provide a foundation for understanding the research process used throughout the course.

For this assignment, select two areas of research and identify a specific topic or focus for each area to investigate in your current or future professional practice.

Complete a 150-250 word rationale for each area of research and include the following:

• Why you selected the area of research and topics to investigate.
• The research approach you believe has the greatest potential for achieving your goals.
• How your research will contribute to student success and educator.

In addition, write a 150-250 word summary of the four stages of the action research process, including a definition of the theory of action.

Support your summary with the textbook and 3-5 scholarly resources.

1) My topic is Parents in Title One school districts would be able to assist their children with disabilities better if they had better resources available to assist them and their children.

2)I selected this topic because I notice the students in Title One districts regress during breaks due to parent are working but cannot afford to have students work with someone over the break to keep them working on social or academic needs.

3)The research approach is descriptive research approach

4)It will continue with the student receiving additional help outside of school for better retention of academic or social needs,

Listed is the information need for the rationales. I need it to be placed in form for rationale for 1-4. I also need the write a 150-250 word summary of the four stages of the action research process, including a definition of the theory of action.

Support your summary with the textbook and 3-5 scholarly resources.

Please make sure the summary is aligned with the information given.
