Small Group Action Research
The topic for my action research is small group instruction in the primary grades. I am curious to find out if small group instruction is as beneficial for the students as teachers think. I would also like to find out if students do better being pulled in small groups in the classroom, or in a pull out program. Finding out the benefits, as well as the pros and cons will help myself and other teachers in the classroom on a daily basis. The importance of small group on our K-2 campus arises quite often. Some administrators want to see all students being pulled for small group on a daily basis, and others only want to see the lowest group being pulled daily. There does not seem to be a happy medium. I hope by conducting this research I can help eliminate most of the questions and concerns over who would be pulled, how often, in classroom, or being pulled out of the classroom for extra one on one time. The administration, teachers, and students will greatly benefit from the findings of this action research.
