Assessing Digital Learning and Instruction
Action Research Design Outline
The action research design outline is a structured plan used to explore and improve a specific issue within an educational or organizational setting. In the context of bringing automation to Banner for financial aid staff, this outline guides the investigation into how implementing automated processes can enhance efficiency, reduce manual errors, and improve staff workflow, ultimately supporting better service to students.
Literature Review
A literature review is my opportunity to explore and analyze existing research related to my topic. It helps me understand what has already been studied, identify gaps in the research, and build a strong foundation for my own investigation. In reviewing literature on automating Banner processes for financial aid staff, I’m focusing on how similar initiatives have improved efficiency, accuracy, and reduced staff workload in higher education settings.
Action Research Plan
An action research plan is my roadmap for investigating a specific problem in my professional setting and implementing a solution. It allows me to collect and analyze data to evaluate the impact of a change in my organization. For my action research, this plan focuses on introducing automation into Banner for financial aid staff to improve processing efficiency and reduce manual errors.
Contribution to Your Learning
In the Contribution to My Learning assignment, I look back on my experiences and interactions throughout the course that have contributed to my personal and professional development. I explore how I’ve applied key concepts, such as researching more on automating Banner for financial aid, and how working with my group has helped my understanding of these ideas. Through this reflection, I can recognize both my strengths and areas where I can continue to grow as I build my skills and knowledge.
