Purpose and Significance of Action Research:
While discussing my internship plan with my site supervisor, she mentioned having been donated some playground equipment that she did not want to lose. It was being donated to us from Head Start and she wanted to make good use of it, but did not know exactly what to do with it. We decided it would be a good research project for me. Our Head Start teacher, coordinator and I, along with our ESC Head Start personnel, have been brainstorming ideas for how to design this playground/outdoor classroom.
The purpose for the playground/outdoor classroom is to provide our students and teachers with a playground that can also be used as a classroom. The area can be used for hands-on learning in both real play and academic cross-curricular activities.
The significance of the research will reflect that students will benefit from this area as a playground and as a classroom. They will develop socially, physically, emotionally, and academically. Teachers will benefit from the area as they develop lessons that will allow them to use the area as an educational tool. Our community will benefit from the area as they see how their children are benefiting from the playground/outdoor classroom that a few of them will have helped us construct.
