THE ACTION RESEARCH
SITUATION
Or rather hellip
HOW IT WORKED OUT IN ROOM 2 in 2009
8142019 L Hall ARP
httpslidepdfcomreaderfulll-hall-arp 219
INTRODUCING THESITUATION
Room 2 is a Year 3 - 4 class made up of 14students in a well resourced reasonably highdecile Yr 0 -8 school in rural Southland
The reason for implementing this actionresearch was because lower than desired
maths engagement and confidence in thestudents (and teacher) were bound to causeproblems further down the track
8142019 L Hall ARP
httpslidepdfcomreaderfulll-hall-arp 319
THE GRIM SITUATION
School Staff had identified Maths as an areaneeding PD and this was planned to beundertaken in 2009 with Averil Lee
Up to date activities for reinforcing mathsstrategies and knowledge in the classroomwere lacking
The school internet availability frequentlymet problems
The laptops available to children were oftenunable to access reliable and consistentinternet feeds
8142019 L Hall ARP
httpslidepdfcomreaderfulll-hall-arp 419
THE GRIM SITUATION (CONTrsquoD)
The availability of a data projector was anissue and that it was in the right place at theright time
The teacherrsquos own maths PD was from theark and although supported by a wonderfulteam knowledge and skill WERE an issue
Although a Mimio interactive system wasavailable the above lack of knowledge and(time) prevented its use to any real degree

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulll-hall-arp 519
THE REAL SITUATION
So hellip at the beginning of 2009 things did notlook good
A class brainstorm of internet sites that the
students were aware of and used for mathswas minimal

A CLOSE UP OF THE SITUATION
8142019 L Hall ARP
httpslidepdfcomreaderfulll-hall-arp 819
INTERVENTION IN THE SITUATION
Once this rather obvious area for actionresearch improvement was highlighted itwas decided that several things could bedone
1 Sit down and cry
2 Sit down and drink
3 Actually do something to fix the loomingmess
8142019 L Hall ARP
httpslidepdfcomreaderfulll-hall-arp 919
RECTIFYING THE SITUATION Averil came and worked with us
Averil came and played many activities with us that wecould use meaningfully with the children
A nice young man came to fix our network system andput everything together again making the internetreliable and easy to access
That same nice young man come to fix our laptops andmake them as reliable as the classroom desktopcomputers
8142019 L Hall ARP
httpslidepdfcomreaderfulll-hall-arp 1019
RECTIFYING THE SITUATION (CONTrsquoD)
Consistent and frequent pestering of the principaland PTA for a data projector paid off
The teacher went to 2 courses offered about
creating your own Wiki and did things at itespecially creating many links to fun and excitingwebsites
The teacher began to use the Mimio gradually but
purposefully as a tool to improve the childrenrsquoslearning and understandings
8142019 L Hall ARP
httpslidepdfcomreaderfulll-hall-arp 1119
RECTIFYING THE SITUATION
Maths Rotations included regular sessions towork on the Wiki
Rather than weep about the state of maths inRoom 2 we can now celebrate because hellip
The children and teacher like maths ndash a
questionnaire (and its answers) can attest tothat

It is more fun
It is fun
It is easier
It has new stuff and Mrs Hall is happier
We do more thingsIt is hard ndash I like hard
I learnt more and it is fun
I learn more and I get better so it gets easier
There are better activities later in the year

RECTIFYING THE SITUATION Averil came and worked with us
Averil came and played many activities with us that wecould use meaningfully with the children
A nice young man came to fix our network system andput everything together again making the internetreliable and easy to access
That same nice young man come to fix our laptops andmake them as reliable as the classroom desktopcomputers

RECTIFYING THE SITUATION (CONTrsquoD)
Consistent and frequent pestering of the principaland PTA for a data projector paid off
The teacher went to 2 courses offered about
creating your own Wiki and did things at itespecially creating many links to fun and excitingwebsites
The teacher began to use the Mimio gradually but
purposefully as a tool to improve the childrenrsquoslearning and understandings
