Week 4 Reflection

This week's reading and assignment allowed me to learn more about how to implement the action research.  Realistically, implementing research will be somewhat rocky and it is important to take certain steps which allow us to minimize these obstacles.  The content this week gave us the Force Field Analysis, The Delphi Model and the Nominal Group Technique as various methods to make the implementation of action research (or, in my opinion, change in general) go smoother.  These methods have a commonality of reducing dissonance and increasing buy in.  We then took time to analyze our peers feedback to us, as well as our meetings with our site supervisor.  This is continuing to go well, and I am looking forward to getting started.  I should be able to seriously get the ball rolling on my plan after Christmas break.
