Online Submission
As a part of the teacher licensure program at the graduate level at The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC), the M.Ed. Licensure candidate is required to complete an action research project during a 3-semester-hour course that coincides with the 9-semester-hour student teaching experience. This course, Education 590 Culminating Experience, requires the student to implement an action research plan designed through (a) the Education 500 Introduction to Inquiry course, (b) one of the two learning assessments required during student teaching, or (c) a newly-designed project not used as one of the learning assessments. With funding through a UTC Teaching, Learning, and Technology Faculty Fellows award, the Education 590 course is conducted through the use of an online, course management system (Blackboard), allowing for asynchronous discussion and use of the digital drop box feature for submitting required papers. The action research projects from, fall semester 2008, are presented here. The projects include: (1) Music, Movement, and Literacy Standards (Michelle Bailey); (2) Middle School Teacher Instructional Survey (Jeremy Bramblett); (3) Analysis of Pre-test and Post-test Results for a Ninth-Grade Unit on Poetry of the English Romantic Period (Eric Cathey); (4) The Impact of Art Integration Across the Curriculum to Enhance Student Performance (Alison Dorough); (5) Does Implementing Focus Techniques, Behavior Modification Strategies, and Journaling Activities Positively Effect the Academic Outcomes of Students with ADHD?
