Action Research Experiences
"With respect to defining my research question, I have learned
that my question must arise more closely from actual classroom
incidents. As Newman (1998) says:
Action research begins in the middle of whatever you're doing--
something happens that you didn't expect-and you begin to wonder
about what's going on."

Love Your Research Questions
Research interest needs to be really interesting to you, out of
your own passion! Shufang's Statement
of Purpose (PDF) - her application for Ph.D. study in
the US, came out of her curiosity, her own genuie inquiry and strong
passion on emergent literacy. One's research interest always changes
but inquiry you made needs to be out of your own genuie interest
- unless you just want to do something that you do not really care
for and you suffer!
